Mogul Thrash with their only album Mogul Thrash. I'd say they are more proto-prog, but are worth listening to !

Yeah, cstack - Mel Collins on the Fish Out of Water album.....Mel Collins on ANY album makes things a whole lot better.  He and guitarist Phil Miller - snap up anything they're on!

I've completely forgotten to mention the band Raw Material, considered by some people as VdGG clones. I wouldn't call them clones, but the use of the saxophone indeed may remind the work of David Jackson.

I simply adore their second album 'Changes'. 
The psychedelic twin guitar attack works oh so well with that saxophone and the slightly hazy vocals of Anna Meek.

UNITED JAZZ ROCK ENSEMBLE
Barbara Thompson with COLOSSEUM was incredible live at Keitele Jazz 2011. Now her style has matured, adds a female touch to heavy sound different than Heckstall-Smith´s but not weaker

I listened to Chris Squire's classic "Fish Out of Water" for the first time in ages, and was very impressed with Mel Collins' work on that album!  

He had Bill Bruford, Mel Collins and other great musicians....some of this approaches "Lizards" in its energy!

RIP Chris!

Catapilla has Robert Calvert on saxophone (not to be confused with the singer of Hawkwind).

The United Jazz and Rock Ensemble has Charlie Mariano and Barbara Thompson on sax (and Ian Carr and Ack van Rooyen on trumpet, Kenny Wheeler on flügelhorn and Albert Mangelsdorff on trombone - what a horn section!)

Hawkwind has Nik Turner on sax on all albums up to "Astounding Sounds, Amazing Music" and on some later albums.

Brainstorm (the German band of that name) has Roland Schaeffer on sax. He also played with Guru Guru (he is in the current line-up), Embryo, RoRo ( a two-man band consisting of Roland Schaeffer and Roman Bunka). Schaeffer is also an excellent guitar player.

Mine. ;-)

I had 10 vintage saxes at one point ranging from baritone to soprano. I've cut back to six nowadays. 

You need a backup in case you break a reed.

For a band that I doubt is on this site but is really great none the less try Shrimp Boat, they are sort of a proto-math-rock indie thing.

The Collectors. What Love (Suite) on their first album has a saxophone solo which I value above all others.

Yakuza- Of Seismic Consequence and Ihsahn- After.

Completely different to anything else being suggested but some amazing sax work on those two albums.

Definitely counts!  Ian McDonald is the 'man' on the prog sax!  Despite the fact that he "sold out" by playing with Foreigner in the late 1970s & early 1980s, he redeemed himself by joining up with Steve Hackett on his 'Tokyo Tapes' tour in 1996.  The video of that two-night gig shows McDonald doing great prog sax work even on non-KC pieces.  Great stuff...

Gong's "You" remains one of my favorite prog works featuring the lush tenor sax of Didier Malherbe!

I was fortunate to see the late, great Daevid Allen and Gong on two consecutive nights in a small club in Chicago some years ago!  Mike Howlett on bass, Didier Malherbe ("Bloomdido Bad De Grasse") on sax, Stefi Sharpstrings on guitar & synth, Babylon Yoni on space whisper....magnificent show! 

This is some great music, enjoy!
