Johnny Hodges fans might be a little upset too.

I should have qualified my observation to tenor sax players. I dont think Webster can be quite accurately called lyrical although he was the best on ballads.
I would rate them: 1. Hodges, 1a Paul Desmond, 3. Bud Shank. I have no idea what "music" Bird was playing so I dont know how good he was except for the reputation he bears.
And we should not forget about the underrated (or less remembered) tenor and soprano player Lucky Thompson. In much demand as a sideman during the 1950's. After returning from a European tour he recorded some really great "lyrical" stuff for Prestige and others during the 1960s before dropping out of the music scene altogether in the 1970's, disgusted with the state of the music business.
