Well, okay, but you may not be surprised if I suggest that I find the content of your second sentence highly debatable.

Suretyguy, I think you are full of... Hank Mobley is the great middle weight fighter of the saxophone. Just compare Mobley's "Autumn Leaves" to the f-ing light weight "Autumn Leaves" 's of Stan Getz, Ben Webster,Paul Desmond, , Miles Davis, Nat Adderley, Tal Farlow Barney Kessel................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. This could take up the first month or two on our new jazz forum site. Either that or have the classical guys begging to kick us out! T456

Nothing I said was intended to really disparage Mobley. It's just that to my ears his work is overrated and over-represented in the number of recordings and reissues of those recordings. I don't know that he was a "great" (a much overused word) middleweight. After all Sugar Ray Robinson was without doubt a truly great middleweight (boxer, for those too young to remember) and I'm not at all certain Mobley stands up to that sort of comparison.
Historically, Coltrane worked very hard during the years leading up to 1961.
This would be the year for Coltrane, as he, found his bearing, gained his footing and took off leaving his contemporaries in the dust. As a matter of fact, Coltrane did not slow down from the years 1961-67 upon his death.
"As a matter of fact, Coltrane did not slow down from the years 1961-67 upon his death." As a matter of fact fantja , JC did slow down during that period. He played many tunes at a ballad tempo. If we had a jazz forum I could take all my belocosocity out of this forum. We could really duke it out over there.
