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

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

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