as for sparse phrases (and off key/tune punches) , im a MONK man. also see miles. im only beginning to really enjoy the frenetic "wall of sound" that coltrane explored. other recent finds are cannonball adderly and horace silver.

Yeah man, monk rules. Have you heard Herbie Nichols yet?
Definitely Monk, and Miles are in a whole other catagory, they knew exactly what they were doing. What I meant about players not playing simply is that now a days, most of them try to follow in Tranes footsteps. There aren't any that try to sound like Prez though. (Lester Young)
