Where's Mark Shim? He works with Vijay Iyer and he's kickass. I also think it's telling that a lot of the footage these 'modern' tenor players is shot on is on legacy media--tape, VHS, etc, which means it's ~20+ years old. Most of these videos were shot when Yugoslavia was a country and we called AIDS 'gay-related immunodeficiency disorder'. What definition of 'modern' are we using?

Billy Pierce, wasn't he ex-Art Blakey's bandsman, as well as mentor and instructor to Bransford and Wynton Marsalis? Ralph Moore was/is an excellent lyricist. Adore his growls. Tim Warfield is one of the young lions, from which pack James Carter has broken away. Cat can converse tirelessly - Tim. Bob Sheppard and that sound! Definitely a 'Trane alumnus... Walter is new to me. He has structure and improvisational organization. I adore and admire him. Steve Grossman is a known able-bodied virtuoso who, I agree, needs much more renown and acclaim. Bob Berg and Michael Brecker :'52 and '49 - my two main 'Coltranian Jazzicians (RIP) Ralph Bowen has been added to my list with his great sound, dexterity and 'Tranean embellishments. These dudes are all equally great - in their own right. Antoine Roney, tenor saxophone brother of Wallace Roney, trumpeter... Avery Teodresse(sp), Abraham Burton, Courtney Pine, Andy Sheppard... Mr. Bernie, thank you much.

All of these are great players, but I wouldn't classify a single one of these tenor players as "modern", whether you're talking style or age. I mean, most of the recordings you chose were from the 80's and early 90's. I feel like if college kids today can't remember seeing these guys live, they aren't modern. Most of these players were in their prime before college aged students were even alive. I mean, Bob Berg died before kids in high school today were even born, so can this really be considered modern at all? I'm not hating on any of the artists you chose, I just feel like you shouldn't label them as "modern". They may have been modern, but that was a long long time ago.
