I don't own any recordings of the Miles Davis Quintet with George Coleman and so can't offer an opinion on him.

As far as Wayne Shorter's concerned, I'd be interested to hear what others think of his playing. Based on the half-dozen good Wayne Shorter CDs I've got, I don't think he's a great sax player. But I absolutely love almost all those CDs; they're among my favourites. What makes Wayne Shorter special to me is his compositions -- tunes like Footprints, Adam's Apple, Speak No Evil, Juju, Deluge, House of Jade, Fee-Fi-Fo-Fum, Night Dreamer, The Big Push, Lady Day and Sacajawea, as well as others he wrote with Art Blakey's and Miles Davis's bands, like Lester Left Town. They're some of the finest tunes ever written.
