I would say the saxophone is the most important to Jazz or Jazz is the most important to the saxophone because the sax owes it’s popularity to Jazz music more than any other instrument. The trumpet and piano and other instruments have popularity in Classical music far beyond the use of the sax in that music. Without Jazz where would the sax be?Many feel the greatest Jazz artist is a sax player Charlie Parker. Without Jazz the trumpet would get along very well in the other genres of music as would piano drums and bass. MY favorite instrument is the trumpet ,but I look objectively and see the importance of the sax in Jazz starting with Frankie Traumber,Jimmy Dorsey,Johnny Hodges,Benny Carter,Coleman Hawkins,Chu Berry to Charlie Parker to John Coltrane to Roland Kirk to Joe Lovano all sax players who were major innovators in Jazz and others.
Honestly, it would have to be the bass, drums and piano. The upright bass sets the tone, and you cannot have any band operate without a rhythm section.
Great bands are made by their ability to keep time. While instruments like the trumpet and saxophone are important to the melody, you can have an incredible jazz combo with drums, bass and piano alone.
