Learn the pentatonic minor scale in the key of the song and drop some acid.

"dilemma."
^fixed.
*1. You don't have issue with his grammar you have issue with his spelling.
**2. Unless he is sharing an account with you it shouldn't be "we" it should be "you" - I'm just saying unless youz are sharing an account.
***3. Usually a person is adressed before not after you wright something.

OK back to topic. I don't know if you are looking for their sheet music but transcribed for sax, or just looking for suggestions of other artist and bands. But if you are looking for Blues/Rock music that has sax in it, check out The Rolling Stones Sticky Fingers album.

I highly recommend looking up (on the internet) Bobby Keys and Jim Horn, they were session musicians - see what bands they played with etc. maybe you might like some of the bands they played with; it's really worth it, they were two of the best saxophone players of their time.

OMG HAO DID THIS BCUM THE GRAMMR THREAD?
Seriously, though, sax is a great instrument. And improvising? It takes a while. I don't play sax, but I'd suggest you just get a song, you get it's key (preferrably C, or B flat if you have one of those brass instruments that is weird like that,) and just play random notes on the C pentatonic scale. That would probably be C, D, E, G, and A, unless you have one of those weird instruments, in which case it would be B flat, C, D, F, and G.
It's also useful to know the chords ahead of time. Then, eventually, you would start realising things that can improve your soloing.
