Unfortunately I don't know a lot about Jazz, particularly Sax led Jazz, but I do listen to a really good Piano led trio,
Esbjorn Svensson Trio or EST. They're definitely worth checking out as they bring strange instrumentation into the mix.
There is a band I also really rate called
Portico Quartet, while they are led by a Saxophone it's not 'smooth jazz' and in fact along with the sax there is a double bass and 2 'Hang' players. A Hang is a new percussion instrument which sounds similar to a steel drum, and while that sounds quite bizarre in the context you should really try them out and see what you think. It really works well.
