Start with the reissue of the "Atomic Basie" sessions from 1957-58 on Bluenote and you'll get a nice dose of the fabulous Marshall Royal too.
Actually, start with the Jones-Smith Incorporated recordings with Basie and Lester Young. Lester's solos on that first recording is just all about swing sax playing you'll ever need to know.
Here are a few others: Coleman Hawkins, Wardell Gray, Benny Carter, Johnny Hodges, Ben Webster, Illinois Jacquet, Zoot Simms. Some of these crossed from swing era to bebop influence but nevertheless retained thier swing orientation, particularly rhythmically.
