World's Greatest Tenors

I listen to Sonny Rollins, Stan Getz, Wayne Shorter, Zoot Sims, John Coltrane, Ben Webster, Dexter Gordon, Coleman Hawkins, Joe Henderson mostly

We're talking jazz tenors... not singers

Zoot45 yes,the OP listed jazz tenor saxophonists to get this initiated. .

O-10, busted, guilty as charged! You are correct about where he was when
he passed. Brain fart likely due to recently having been talking to a friend
about another alto giant, Johnny Hodges, and his recording of "Blood
Count" by Billy Strayhorn; which Strayhorn wrote while dying in his
hospital bed. What Bird was doing, which was the part germane to the
discussion (his admiration of Dorsey), is well documented and part of jazz
lore. Man, I have to tighten up my game :-) Regards.

Frogman,
We forgive this transgression, now carry on sir.
