Benny Golson (born January 25, 1929) is an American bebop/hard bop jazz tenor saxophonist, composer, and arranger.
 He came to prominence with the big bands of Lionel Hampton and Dizzy Gillespie, more as a writer than a performer, before launching his solo career.
 Golson is known for co-founding and co-leading The Jazztet with trumpeter Art Farmer in 1959.
 From the late 1960s through the '70s Golson was in demand as an arranger for film and television and thus was less active as a performer, but he and Farmer reformed the Jazztet in 1982.
 Several of Golson's songs have become jazz standards, including "Blues March," "Whisper Not," "I Remember Clifford," and "Killer Joe."
Stanley William Turrentine (April 5, 1934 – September 12, 2000) was an American jazz tenor saxophonist.
 He began his career playing soul jazz for Blue Note Records, touched on jazz fusion during a stint on CTI Records in the 1970s, and was described by critic Steve Huey as "renowned for his distinctively thick, rippling tone [and] earthy grounding in the blues."
 Turrentine was married to organist Shirley Scott in the 1960s, with whom he frequently recorded, and was the younger brother of trumpeter Tommy Turrentine.
Chico Freeman (born Earl Lavon Freeman Jr.; July 17, 1949) is a modern jazz tenor saxophonist and trumpeter and son of jazz saxophonist Von Freeman.
 He began recording as lead musician in 1976 with "Morning Prayer", won the New York Jazz Award in 1979 and earned the Stereo Review Record of the Year in 1981 for his album "The Outside Within".
Michel Pastre (born April 7, 1966) is a French jazz tenor saxophonist (see also ).
Guy Lafitte (12 January 1927 – 11 July 1998) was a French jazz tenor saxophonist born at Saint-Gaudens, France, most notable for his work with Mezz Mezzrow from 1951–1952 and having toured with Big Bill Broonzy in 1951.
James Richard Skidmore (8 February 1916 – 22 August 1998) was an English jazz tenor saxophonist.
 He was born in Manor Park, London and was the father of tenor and soprano saxophonist Alan Skidmore.
 Perhaps best known for his work with George Shearing from 1950 to 1952, Jimmy Skidmore worked with a variety of other well-known jazz musicians, including Humphrey Lyttelton, Victor Feldman and Kenny Baker.
Coleman Randolph Hawkins (November 21, 1904 – May 19, 1969), nicknamed Hawk and sometimes "Bean", was an American jazz tenor saxophonist.
 One of the first prominent jazz musicians on his instrument, as Joachim E. Berendt explained: "there were some tenor players before him, but the instrument was not an acknowledged jazz horn".
 While Hawkins is strongly associated with the swing music and big band era, he had a role in the development of bebop in the 1940s.
Big Bill Broonzy (June 26, 1893 – August 14, 1958) was an American blues singer, songwriter and guitarist.
 His career began in the 1920s, when he played country blues to mostly African-American audiences.
 Through the 1930s and 1940s he successfully navigated a transition in style to a more urban blues sound popular with working-class African-American audiences.
 In the 1950s a return to his traditional folk-blues roots made him one of the leading figures of the emerging American folk music revival and an international star.
 His long and varied career marks him as one of the key figures in the development of blues music in the 20th century.
Arnett Cleophus Cobb (August 10, 1918 – March 24, 1989) was an American jazz tenor saxophonist, sometimes known as the "Wild Man of the Tenor Sax" because of his uninhibited stomping style.
 Cobb wrote the words and music for the jazz standard "Smooth Sailing" (1951), which Ella Fitzgerald recorded for Decca on her album "Lullabies of Birdland".
Rich Halley (born November 25, 1947 in Portland, Oregon) is an American jazz tenor saxophonist and composer.
 He has released 20 recordings as a leader.
 As Down Beat described him: “Oregon-based saxophonist Rich Halley has been turning out smart brawny music for a couple of decades”.
 All About Jazz called his music “a sublime balance of the cerebral and visceral”.
