Shorter, Bergonzi, Lovano, Garzone, David Sanchez, Redman, Walt Weiskopf, Liebman, Seamus Blake, Potter, Marcus Strickland, Ravi Coltrane, Adam Kolker, Mark Turner, Walter Smith III, Ted Nash (I've heard what he's capable of on tenor) -- just to mention a few tenor players around now.
We all have our own ears/preferences. Some may feel Aldana is equal to or even better than the tenor players I listed. I'm not there, at least not yet. But I'm happy to learn about an excellent player I was not hip to.
Follow Ups:
Winner of the T. Monk 2002 saxophone competition. For good reason.
Melissa Aldana won the competition a couple of years ago..... I love Seamus Blake.... been a huge fan since he first came up with Chris Potter and Eric Alexander in the late 80's early 90's. I saw Seamus in '91 with Eddie Henderson....Eddie called him the double dick dog..... he loved him.

I don't know. I had never heard the term before of since but Eddie Henderson was gushing over Seamus..... Maybe having two is better than having one! I had seen them at Visiones and then ran into Henderson that night at Bradleys with Gary Bartz. We were at the bar. A real treat to hear Eddie Henderson tell stories.

I fiddled with my reed for 2 hours.
No one else came close...
