Answer You are going to have to learn most of the tunes by ear. There is really not a great 'lead sheet' sit out there specifically for saxophone. There are a few good Van MOrrison tunes that lend themselves to alto - Moondance, Have I Told You Lately, and Into the Mystic to name just a few. Turn the Page by Bob Seger has a little alto riff and any of the old motown classics can be covered pretty well by playing the lead line on horn and having a piano/organ fill in the gaps. Good luck and enjoy playing!
