Obviously, you can't play a chord on sax - just one note at a time. Chord symbols are often shown in jazz and popular music when a player is asked to improvise a solo. Different types of scales work over different types of chords, so the chord symbols suggest which scales you should use to construct your improvisation.
Those chord symbols look like A7, Bb6, Fm7 Gdim7, Cmaj7, B9, etc. The letter name (along with any sharp or flat symbols) name the root of the chord and the scale to play over the chord. I'll use an X instead or C#, Eb, F, A etc, to describe the most common scale uses.
Major scales work over plain triads (C, D, etc), X6, Xmaj7;
Dorian scales work over Xm, Xm7, Xm9, Xm11 or Xm13
Mixolydian scales work over X7, X9, X11, X13
If you aren't fluent with all of the scales, and want to work out solos ahead of time, you can key the chord symbols into "Band in a Box" or other programs (transpose them so they are in concert pitch) and get a play back. Then just work out what sounds good.
