Guitar and sax duo albums are relatively rare (I mean only those two instruments, without bass or drums). The absolute best one I know is Tim Berne and Bill Frisell's "Theoretically", for which the download link can be found below. The music is not only unusual, but very compelling as well. It's a pity they didn't go any further down this avenue.
Most albums I could come up with are free improv, with the occasional Norwegian soundscapists. The only traditional jazz album with a sax-guitar duo setting is Zoot Sims & Joe Pass's "Blues For Two".
So here's the list, in random order :
Zoot Sims & Joe Pass - Blues For Two
Tim Berne & Bill Frisell - Theoretically
Evan Parker & Derek Bailey - Arch Duo
Anthony Braxton & Derek Bailey - First Duo Concert; Royal Vol. 1; Moment Précieux;
Anthony Braxton & Fred Frith - Duo (Victoriaville) 2005
John Zorn & Fred Frith - The Art Of Memory
Eugene Chadbourne & John Zorn - 1977-1981
Anthony Burr and Skuli Sverisson - The Workers Institute
Mats Gustafsson & David Stackenäs - Blues
Mats Gustafsson & Paolo Angeli : Split 10" Series # 2
Nels Cline & Vinny Golia - The Entire Time
Jan Garbarek & Ralph Towner - Dis
Miroslav Tadic & Peter Epstein - Without Words
Jonas Knutsson & Johan Norberg - Norrland
Henry Kaiser & John Oswald - Improvised (Vancouver)
Jim O'Rourke & Mats Gustafsson - Xylophonen Virtuosen
Mike Murley & David Occhipinti - Duologue Vol. 2
Stefan Jaworzyn & Alan Wilkinson - In A Sentimental Mood
Carlo Actis Dato & Enzo Rocco - Pasodoble
Martin Küchen & David Stackenäs - Agape
Noël Akchoté & Bruno Meillier - S/T
Frank Lowe & Eugene Chadbourne - Don't Punk Out
Ab Baars & Terrie X - Hef
Any other suggestions?
