                   Davis, from autobiographical works to detailed
                   musicological analyses and cultural/sociological accounts
                   of their lives, work, and legacy. Fewer publications are
                   concerned with a direct comparison of both artists'
                   approach to improvisation. I introduce a new analytical
                   perspective, developed in the context of the Jazzomat
                   Research Project, by using computational and statistical
                   methods. Based on a large set of solo transcriptions taken
                   from the Weimar Jazz Database spanning different stylistic
                   phases for both artists (20 solos by Coltrane and 19 solos
                   by Davis), I identify common and differing stylistic
                   traits. This approach utilizes a set of 143 musical
                   features extracted from the solos. Results indicate that
                   both players differ in quite many aspects. Clich{\'{e}}s
                   of the “extroverted” style of Coltrane and the
                   “introverted” style of Davis are evidenced by vastly
                   different note densities and overall spacing of phrases.
                   Some surprising and subtle differences also showed up. For
                   instance, Davis has a tendency to avoid the third of the
                   underlying chord and also major and minor third intervals,
                   whereas Coltrane has a preference for playing out chords.
                   Furthermore, both players seem to have no large overlap in
                   their respective pattern vocabularies.},
