Sometimes two saxophonists just like playing together. Gerry Mulligan did quite a few albums with other sax players:

Of course, but I specifically mentioned "Drummer" assembled and led groups. Which has nothing to do with two saxophonists "liking to play together". It's a realization of a particular aesthetic/vision first.

Ok. Do these qualify?

John Coltrane
The Coltrane Sound

I don't think I've ever heard an LP with a larger soundstage than this LP. Absolutely envelopes you.

Miles Davis "Stockholm 1960", 4-disc live recording over two separate dates with two different sax players.
March 22 tracks 1-7 with John Coltrane, who left the band shortly thereafter; and October 13 tracks 8-23 with Sonny Stitt in JC's place.
Track 4 of disc 1 JC gives an interview.

Very nice sound and great music. Interesting to hear how much more Miles participates (he has to) with JC gone. Sonny just not as prolific as JC I guess. But then, who is?

Lou Donaldson, "LD + 3" (1959), the "3" being the band "The Three Sounds", which provides a top-notch rhythm section, including the always terrific Gene Harris on piano.
OMG this is a superb disc! The music, the headliner, the rhythm section, the recording (XRCD24) ... an all-around winner!

I must say, I love all of my XRCD24 discs. Superb sonics, wonderful photos and notes, beautifully packaged like a fine hardcover book.
I am glad I treated myself to this version of this release.

Lou Donaldson, "Here 'Tis" (1961), with Grant Green's debut on Blue Note. Nice soul-jazz effort (no gators, no boogaloo, just soul) with Baby Face Willette providing the supportive structure via some nice organ work.

I love the cover on this one. A good disk too.
