I voted for everything except for Sun Ra only because I'm not familiar with his music. One of these days I'll have to give him a listen.

In the other/others category I could list dozens but I'll keep it short:

Dave Brubeck
Bill Evans
McCoy Tyner
Hampton Hawes
Hank Mobley
Dexter Gordon
Clifford Brown
Lee Morgan
Freddie Hubbard

and so forth and so on...
 
I'll second a whole bunch of the additional names put forward by the members who have responded to this thread. And I will add to it:


Ben Webster
Art Pepper
Bennie Golson
Lester Young
Paul Gonsalves
Steve Lacy
 
So many, but Oliver Nelson........his stolen moments is a visceral mover if there ever was one:thmbsp:
 
Alot of great names here. Tyner and Coltrane are always near the top of my list. Lately I've been to Gerry Mulligan alot so add him.

  • Jacqui Naylor
  • Monica Salmaso
  • Holly Cole

Other instrumental artists in my rotation now:
  • Bob Kindred
  • George Garzone and Trio Da Paz
  • Clifford Jordan Quartet

Bill Evans, Eric Dolphy, Wes Montgomery, Jimmy Smith, Bix Beiderbecke, Charlie Haden, Charles Lloyd, Gary Burton, ad infinitum.
 
Kenny Burrell
Oscar Peterson

Just to name a couple.
 
As others have already mentioned (I think): Ben Webster, Art Pepper, Chet Baker, Gerry Mulligan. I'll add Gene Ammons and Sonny Rollins, and Pete Fountain.
 
Suprised it took till the third page to get Wes Montgomery out there.

Coltrane takes #1 for me followed closely by those on the list and mentioned.

As another member stated...Coltrane doing "My Favorite Things" is absolutely
stunning and mezmerizing. I'm talking about the 13:41 version recorded on 10/21/60 with McCoy Tyner, Steve Davis and Elvin Jones. An absolute master piece to my ears and brain. :thmbsp:
