In article <425@mhuxr.UUCP> mfs@mhuxr.UUCP (SIMON) writes, at the end of a
long article about Paul Gonsalves:
>PPS: On STAN THE MAN, an recent Verve overview of Stan Getz sessions from
>1949 to 1959, there is a *great* three tenor battle between Getz, Coleman
>Hawkins and Gonsalves, with Dizzy Gillespie acting as moderator. 

And speaking of tenor battles, there is a wonderful album under the leadership
of John Coltrane, called TENOR CONCLAVE, with Coltrane, Zoot Sims, Al Cohn,
and I'm ashamed to say I can't remember the fourth.  The album was recorded in
the 50's, and reissued a few years ago as one half of a twofer called
ON A MISTY NIGHT.  There is some great blowing on this album, both hard-driving
tunes and slow ballads.  Those who don't like Coltrane in his later, 
farther-out, years should listen to this album to hear some straight-ahead
playing that might surprise you.
