World's Greatest Tenors

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.

OK tenor saxophone fans, four of the greatest, including one who is rarely
mentioned (Al Cohn). Can you identify the order of the solos by each of the
four tenor players? Two hints: 1) the four tenor solos each begin at :47,
2:24, 4:00 and 5:31 respectively. 2) the stated order in the Youtube
"comments" is incorrect. Any takers?

And no cheating! :-)

The only one I'm sure of is Coltrane is the fourth tenor.
I'll say Sims, Mobley, Cohn, Trane. Hope you're grading on a curve Frogman. Thanks for the music.
Charles,

Charles, good calls on Cohn and Trane. First two are Mobley and then Sims. The first two are tough. I remember the first time I heard this being surprised at how Sims (second solo) sounded more muscular than Mobley, not what I expected.
