I like some jazz. Mostly what amounts to 'swing'.
Quote:
Though this is a bit of generalisation; anything French. The french wrote for the saxophone all through out the Romantic era, before jazz became associated with it. Also, french saxophonists often develop a smooth "classical" tone; North American ones tend to sound like jazz players even in classical works. As for players from the rest of europe, it varies.
A great saxophone chamber group is the Rascher quartet. I'll put a link to a sound sample of theirs.

I've heard enough classical saxophone, and I don't see what you mean. It may be that you identify with a certain style of saxophone play. Most saxophone players of any camp develop expertise in both Legitimate and Jazz music. There are a number of American players who sound superbly appropriate.
