For people that played more than one of the four types listed, but _primarily_ played only one, please surround the "X"s of the nonprimaries like so: X. As an example, John Coltrane is listed as playing Soprano, Alto and Tenor, but he most definitely played Tenor the most, so the X's for Soprano & Alto have been surrounded in tags.

Let's keep this as a pretty comprehensive list, including the unquestionably great (Coltrane, Parker) with the new guys I've never heard of (as long as they actually have recordings out there) - more categorical lists can be made later on.

Eventually a little color should be added - alternating shades for rows and columns (just to make the distinction easier) and probably assigning each Genre a color. Possibly color-code Timespans that fall into "the golden age of jazz" from like 1940-1970 or something. Shade groupings for the standards (alto, tenor, baritone), the lows (bass, etc.) and the others.
