Carlos Santana, Meet Fred Anderson: Artists Addicted To Stock Phrases

I swear it seems like every solo by [Chicago tenor saxophonist, for those who don't know] Fred Anderson contains the same basic set of phrases, deployed in a very slightly different order from the last one. I can ID him in like twenty seconds, and I know serious jazz dorks are all about blindfold-testing each other but even after more than a decade of writing about this music, he's the only guy I'd confidently say that about, just because he keeps going back to the same well so insistently. (Note: this does not make me in any way less of a fan of his music - I've got a bunch of his records, and some of them are my favorite jazz records of recent years, especially 2 Days In April with Kidd Jordan, William Parker and Hamid Drake.) And I feel like ol' Carlos is the same way, and has been for thirty years or more, hence the Frank Zappa joke [on one of the Shut Up 'n' Play Yer Guitar albums) "Variations On The Secret Carlos Santana Chord Progression."

So who else does this as egregiously, as consistently, as these two guys?
