Donny ... I agree ... first of all the BEST of anything/person/place is just TOO subjective ... and then there are TOO many parameters ... but when it comes to 'jazz' on this forum from what I have heard I would say Russ and chas - but NEITHER OF THEM IS A OMB PERFORMER ...

WAIT - if I am going to mention people who are not OMB performers, I have to put Rory and the top of the list and add Randy on sax - BTW - where are YOU Randy ???

boo ... I hope this doesn't hi-jack your thread ...
