I heard recently that Alan Greenspan is/was an accomplished reed instrument player. Anyone know what he played? What kind of music?

Hi. I mentioned your post to a friend of mine, because it peaked my curiosity.
He said with certainty that Greenspan plays sax, and that he was almost positive it was a tenor. Apparently he heard it on Paul Harvey's The Rest of the Story.

Ok. Sorry to follow up my own response, but I was curious and did some quick 'net research.
Apparently after high school, Greenspan went to Juilliard School and played clarinet and saxophone in a swing band as his first real job.
I'll try not to look deeper into it, but if I "accidentally" come across more info, I guess I'll be compelled to share.

He found profession too demanding and landed an easier job. (Fewer alternate fingerings and less system complexity... M1 & a M2.)
He's also an Ayn Rander, whoever she was.
