It's who you think is the best sax player in the world. By the way, here are some sax players from Wikipedia

Charlie Parker
Lester Young
Ben Webster
Art Pepper
Coleman Hawkins
"Cannonball" Adderly
John Coltrane
Stan Getz
Paul Desmond
Branford Marsalis
Phil Dwyer (Canada)
Dexter Gordon
Houston Person
Sonny Stitt
Lucky Thompson
Zoot Simms
Ornette Coleman

Also the famous "Boots" Randolph, who created Yakety Saxin 1963, and modern jazz saxophonists Kenny G, Grover Washington, Jr., Kirk Whalum, Boney James, and David Sanborn.

But definitely not the 42nd President of the US, Bill Clinton.

Phil Woods. Without question!

I (editor #1) question Phil Woods's ability, and therefore say that, without question, Sam Taylor is the best.
