Often you find saxophonists who double, but there's a few. In a modern jazz setting, dig
Jamie Baum. She's fabulous, and a great writer as well! ...and of course there's
Herbie Mann...if you're into cheesy junk.
Also check out some sax players who were proficient doublers:
Most of these guys we'll find when we delve into free-jazz...

Gil Evans actually brought this project to fruition, sans Hendrix -
Plays the Music of Jimi Hendrix, and it's quite good. Evans also underwent
many stylistic changes and evolutions over his career, his later stuff bearing little/no resemblance to his early work with Miles - the Hendrix record is a wild jazz/rock romp - fun!
