I'm going Mingus for this. Both rank amongst my favorite jazz musicians (duh!), but Mingus wins this by a nose.

Really love music by both, but I'm easily going with Coltrane here. He just has had more albums that have knocked me out.

Both are singular geniuses with a wide variety of genre explorations and very high highs with few, if any, lows. Still, I can't think of many artists who can make so many albums of tip-top caliber in highly divergent styles like Coltrane's collab with Johnny Hartman, Ascension, Giant Steps, and the Olatunji Concert, not to mention the masterful A Love Supreme. Mingus is no slouch, but he's no Coltrane.

and they're neither Sun Ra

Mingus. I like Coltrane but this should be a blowout.

Would rather have seen a Parker v Sun Ra matchup here, but of who's left, Mingus.

I've only heard two albums from Mingus (Black Saint and Mingus Ah Um) and whilst Ah Um is good and Black Saint superb, the two don't match up to my two fav's from Coltrane.
