I love many of the post-Coltrane tenor players; and, of course, none as much as Trane himself. However, I have a soft spot for many of the players that came out of the Swing and Big Band eras with a tone approach which was both softer edged, but very still very husky. One of my favorites is Eddie “Lockjaw” Davis. One of the most expressive and exciting players from that era with a wonderfully traditional and “slippery” tone approach, but with note choices that lean more to the Bebop era. Really interesting way to walk the line between the two eras.
