Anthony Braxton (born June 4, 1945) is an American experimental composer, educator, music theorist, improviser and multi-instrumentalist who is best known for playing saxophones, particularly the alto.  Braxton grew up on the South Side of Chicago, Illinois, and was a key early member of the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians.  He received great acclaim for his 1969 double-LP record For Alto, the first full-length album of solo saxophone music. Braxton has released well over 100 albums since the 1960s.

Paquito D'Rivera  

Francisco de Jesús Rivera Figueras (born 4 June 1948), known as Paquito D'Rivera, is a Cuban-American alto saxophonist, clarinetist and composer.  He was a member of the Cuban songo band Irakere and, since the 1980s, he has established himself as a bandleader in the United States.  His smooth saxophone tone and his frequent combination of Latin jazz and classical music have become his trademarks.
