We're both a little older now.  Dave Derge is a well known sessions player and currently plays in 3 bands.  He has played with pretty much every Jazz musicians recordings in the last 30 years.  I saw a recent youtube where he is speaking at NAAM 2010 for Gretsch.  He has been endorsed by Gretsch since 1974.

The jazz player in the blues band I play in is amazing.  I am biased I know, but still.....

It is a bit rude in the way grungy blues is meant to be.

I seem to remember a while back in a discussion about the sax being rated the most sexy instrument.
As for players, Roland Kirk was quite a player. He would play two saxes at the same time.

a wider selection;playable on all instruments ;

here is a kid playing out of an Aebersold book   this is of course an alto sax.. and just a student level horn,, I think the kid is pretty darn good  , which is to say 10 times better than 1/2fast

here is the famous song Tenor Madness.. this guy is playing along with an Aebersold backing track

this may be what you mean by rude ?

 Sonny Rollins ...same song, different approach and way mellower tone
that kid has some very nice tone...

One guy you should give a definite listen to is Louis Jordan, who was in his day, the single biggest black music star of his time and a sax player, and he has influenced many musicians from BB King to Little Walter (and he was a huge influence on him). I'd also add Joe Houston into the mix, and basically all the guys from the Jump blues school and you'd be shocked to where many of the harp licks came from. LW basically played harp like a sax because he wanted to play one but could afford to buy one.
 
Harp players are often intiidated by sax players, especially if the harp player himself is not most musically together. I loved working with them as part of the horn section and trading stuff off and whenever I get together with my friend Sax Gordon (Gordon Beadle), we have a blast doing that stuff, and he told me he took things from harp players, and now that's coming full circle.
 
Listen to more horn stuff and it'll open your playing big time and too many players are guilty of doing nothing but listening to harp players only and too often they get stuck in a rut from that attitude.

"All I know is, if I could afford one I'd be messin' with it everyday!!!"

Isn't that a line from an old Mae West movie?
