Well any such list is of course going to include John Coltrane and Charlie Parker.

There are tons of guys a little less known that are really excellent including:

Sonny Rollins
Paul Desmond
Art Pepper
Ike Quebec
Gerry Mulligan
Stan Getz
Serge Chaloff
Hank Mobley
Dexter Gordon
Lou Donaldson
Tina Brooks
Stanley Turrentine
Benny Golson
Joe Henderson

These are my goto guys, mostly in the jazz bebop space which IMO was the best time for sax music.

It's pretty cool to watch some of the old big band stuff too like Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman etc just to see how freakin tight those large bands were.

Personally I cannot get into post-bop avant guard players even though I have tried.
