No problems for me w/the straight quartet stuff, but when Pharoah came in, that's when "increasingly on different pages" comes into play. Once those pages start getting written, yeah, give me Alice. But as long as it was just Trane, Garrison, & Elvin, make mine McCoy, please. I don't think Alice heard the rhythm like McCoy did, and as long as Elvin was driving that particular bus, that was what fit best.
But as soon as Pharoah came on, that bus started going somewhere else, and once Rashied came on, it had its driver.
