And although Wes was a master, I always liked Grant Green more...

Eric Dolphy. Died at 37 in 1964. Technically on Coltrane's level, and in my book a better improvisational player, although nowhere as lyrical as Coltrane.
- Funny thing about Dolphy is as far out as that cat got, so much of his music is so damn danceable. :)harlequino
