If Clemons strikes a nerve with you then I suggest you look for recordings by King Curtis, such as "Soul Meeting," " Night Train" (a classic) or "The New Scene of King Curtis." Also, you might like Red Holloway who plays both a fine tenor and alto sax: "Red Holloway and Company," or "In the Red." Holloway also played with John Mayall on "Ten Years Are Gone"...fantastic bluesy lines...hard to find. Benny Golson, Curtis Amy, Plas Johnson and Lee Allen are a few of the many lesser known players who have been largely obscured by Rollins, Adderley, Coltrane, et al. Plas Johnson is best known for his rollicking sax play on the Pink Panther OST. Johnson's "Hot, Blue and Saxy" is a fun album.
