Oh you nasty boy  !

Mine would be David Jackson too!

But he wasn't on the list so I supported the guy from Supertramp, is that John Helliwell or something? I voted for him because the sax is an integral part on the Supertramp albums, and usually I don't like the sax a lot in progressive rock, but in Supertramp I quite like it.

Also a great sax performance: Pink Floyd on the track Shine On You Crazy Diamond.

And in Starless by King Crimson.

I like " uninhibited " saxplayers in particular, like David Jackson(Van der Graaf Generator), Andy MacKay (Roxy Music) and Chris Wood (Traffic). I prefer that above great technique. I hate the Kenny G - kind of playing.

Plus I like Branford Marsalis' tenorsax on some Sting-albums.

David ... Mr Jackson, if you're nasty

Zappa no doubt. TMV's use of the sax is really great too, and i hope they use the instrument more in their later albums, it mixes very well.
