When I first got into jazz, I didn't really like any sax players; I dug piano and trumpet and drums. More recently though, I really get/ dig Trane and older guys like Cannonball Adderly Ben Webster And occasionally, Sonny Rollins.

Two of my favorite alto sax players: Cannonball Adderley https://youtu.be/L3UwJkncE-U and Arthur Blythe https://youtu.be/x-F5O369cwQ The solos on those two tracks amaze me at every listen.
Seconded on Milestones. My favorite sax solo.
Nubya Garcia, she's part of the blossoming London scene right now. She's the real deal, no doubt about it. I had the incredible experience of seeing her play live last summer in Chicago and its was phenomenal.
Her Tiny Desk is one of the best. Source, the lead track, is probably my favorite of her's: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTIZikaOTDE
Thanks, that's a great set :)
