    I am not sure that there are any solos as amazing as that one, but here are a few that I know of that use this style:

    'King Porter Stomp' on the album 'There Comes a Time' by Gil Evans (solo by David Sanborn)

    'Two for Otis' , 'Left Bank Express' and 'MacArthur Park' on the album "MF Horn 4&5 - Live at Jimmy's" by Maynard Ferguson - actually, this entire album has some really amazing solos by Ferdinand Povel (Tenor), Bruce Johnstone (Bari and Flute) and Andy MacIntosh (Alto and Soprano).

    That's all I can think of right now.

    Louis Armstrong has a number of them with the Hot Fives and Hot Sevens. I think "Strutting with Some Barbecue" is one. Used to use stop-time a lot in the Dixieland era.
