He was good then but he got so much better after playing with Sun ra. When he finally "heard it" he became John Coltrane's favorite sax man before he left the planet. So that speaks volumes.

Only knew Gilmore within his Sun Ra context. He seems more relaxed, anyway. Frans

You can hear the "Coltrane" in his playing, but reality was Coltrane sought Gilmore out for lessons. One of the greats
