Thanks, Steve -- I didn't know about Ornette Coleman on Tenor, but Harry 
Allen IS on the list.    But did Bud Shank record on tenor?    I have him on 
gobs of great alto and flute but not tenor.    I thought somebody would say, 
hey, Eddie Daniels on tenor?    You bet -- he recorded on tenor and bass 
clarinet.    And Frank Wess -- I have him on a very good tenor LP with no 
flute there.

Bob
