-Sonny Rollins  (his recordings for Bluenote would be my favorite)

-Dexter Gordon  (especially "Doin' Alright" and "Go")

-Eddie Cleanhead Vinson  (blues sax extrordinaire)

-John Coltrane  ("Blue Trane" definitely)

I consider myself to be a novice (mostly play alone in private) as
my harmonica abilities are painfully limited, but I like to think that
the recordings of these great artists have some impact on the way I play.
