Yes; I’ve had the same impression. I’m more naturally drawn to W. Shorter, J. Henderson and S. Getz.

Jazz for aficionados
I'm going to review records in my collection, and you'll be able to decide if they're worthy of your collection. These records are what I consider "must haves" for any jazz aficionado, and would be found in their collections. I wont review any record that's not on CD, nor will I review any record if the CD is markedly inferior. Fortunately, I only found 1 case where the CD was markedly inferior to the record.
Our first album is "Moanin" by Art Blakey and The Jazz Messengers. We have Lee Morgan , trumpet; Benney Golson, tenor sax; Bobby Timmons, piano; Jymie merrit, bass; Art Blakey, drums.
The title tune "Moanin" is by Bobby Timmons, it conveys the emotion of the title like no other tune I've ever heard, even better than any words could ever convey. This music pictures a person whose down to his last nickel, and all he can do is "moan".
"Along Came Betty" is a tune by Benny Golson, it reminds me of a Betty I once knew. She was gorgeous with a jazzy personality, and she moved smooth and easy, just like this tune. Somebody find me a time machine! Maybe you knew a Betty.
While the rest of the music is just fine, those are my favorite tunes. Why don't you share your, "must have" jazz albums with us.
Enjoy the music.

John Coltrane on Stan Getz: "Let's face it—we'd all sound like that if we could." Despite pioneering a radically different, intense, and complex "sheets of sound" approach to the saxophone, Coltrane held immense respect for Stan Getz. He was paying the ultimate compliment to Getz's famously pure, effortless, and lyrical tone, which earned Getz the nickname "The Sound". |

@stuartk , if I had to choose, on tenor I would also include Getz, but than Z.Sims, if we agree that Hawk and Webster are already there. Also, there are some albums that poses sheer beauty, like this one, Ike Qubec’s last. He knew, and the band knew that soon he will be gone, and yet, despite or because of it, they made a such a beautiful music. ’Soul Samba’ https://youtu.be/DhmTMCoP0d8?si=l5j1yYHD-tnq5kz0 Interestingly enough, Stan Getz’s last album, in concert, was made in the same life circumstances, just before his passage to the other side and its also painfully beautiful ’People Time’, issued at first as double album and later as complete, consisting of 7? records, I believe |
