Great Players Who sparked your love of Sax music

[Sopranoplanet]

I wan't yet 9 when a cousin took me to a rock & roll show with all the big stars at the time (Buddy Holly, Little Richard and a lot more). The house band was Billy Ford and the Thunderbirds, and the tenor sax player was Sam "The Man" Taylor, who knocked me out completely. I said to myself, "I want to do that!".😎

 

[Pete Effamy]

The Dutch Swing College Band, Chris Barber, Kenny Ball and Acker Bilk. I was 11.

 

[Hassles]

for me - it was the instrument itself. When young I'd listen to Supertramp / Steeleye Dan / Bruce Springsteen with the E Street Band / Roxy Music - Jorga Chalmers / etc etc just to hear the sax
