Well Winslow knew the Toots cut where he overblows 6, and I'll agree it is not chromatic playing like Donna Lee, but considering how few recorded overblowers there were, still innovative.
I also like to give honor to Will Scarlett of Hot Tuna, who used overblows in a more chromatic fashion,imo. Personally I dislike his style, it often seemed incohesive. Still, considering he was doing stuff that very few except Theilemans and Birdhead and maybe some others were trying, and in my opinion trying with a deeper sense of exploration, I really admire Scarlett's work.
