Charlie Parker (“Bird”)was on of the greatest alto saxophonists in jazz history (maybe the greatest in all of history). Nearly everyone who came after him, no matter their instrument, did their best to try and imitate his amazing virtuosity and improvisitory skill. Lee Konitz was also a very gifted alto saxophone player. He came “on the scene” only slightly later than Bird. But, he had a very different approach to the instrument and improvisation. Konitz also had a huge influence over players after him (though not as big as Bird).
