Who’s the best tenor sax player?

This is a poll to find out who our readers think is the best tenor saxophone player of all times. It is a difficult choice, we have listed only a few of the most significant sax players of the past and the last option of the poll allows you to vote for a saxophone player that isn’t in our listing. We thing that the sax players we’ve listed are without doubt candidates for winning the poll, however, if the open option obtains more weight within the poll, we might write out the names suggested so that other voters can opt for your candidate.
