Also, John Zorn is officially the greatest musician ever now that I've heard Masada's Live in Sevilla and his 50th Birthday Celebration album with Susie Ibarra and Wadada Leo Smith

This MLG tournament thing I've been talking about is going on for 4 days and it's so incredibly fun. I've never played Halo 3 so well.

Awesomness.

Having heard three of Coltrane's ***** albums (according to AMG), John Zorn is definitely more awesome/greater overall.  Coltrane's best might be better, but he wasn't nearly as prolific or diverse.  So Zorn still wins.

It might not QUITE be Zorn, but it's pretty big. 

Doesn't address the diversity point, though prolific point taken.

Still, he didn't produce Six Litanies AND Live in Sevilla AND Naked City AND Spillane AND Filmworks XIX AND The Circle Maker AND Cobra AND Kristallnacht

He probably is a better saxophonist, but Zorn gets credit for being very distinct in his style and probably just as fantastic an improviser as Coltrane.
