World's Greatest Tenors

Charles, good calls on Cohn and Trane. First two are Mobley and then Sims. The first two are tough. I remember the first time I heard this being surprised at how Sims (second solo) sounded more muscular than Mobley, not what I expected.

Hi Frogman,
It's funny as I went back and forth with the first two exactly for the reasons you wrote! Trane and Cohn have more distinctive signatures that I can recognized. I'd probably do better with the jazz trumpeters.
Charles,

Here is a link to CBC radio's opinion on the sexiest sax solo. I think the guy in the last video should make the list here.

Looking through my collection it seems I am short on Sonny Stitt recordings. Any recommendations?

Hard to find a bad Sonny Stitt recording. A couple of favorites are "Sonny Stitt Plays", "Sonny Stitt Blows The Blues", "So Doggone Good" and "Interaction" with Zoot Sims. If memory serves he plays both tenor and alto on all. Enjoy.
