It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Good list, Mike

By the way, I am crazy about Cyrus Chestnut. He strikes me as being that rare musician (like Oscar Peterson) with both amazing technical ability and great musical taste.

Agree with you about Ornette "eek-oink" Coleman, except I've never been able to get the "phenomenal" part. (Branford Marsalis on "free" jazz--"self indulgent bullshit". On the other hand, Leonard Bernstein proclaimed Coleman to be a "genius". Both those guys are qualified to make that kind of statement. I can only say, sounds like "eek-oink" to me...)

Uh...Mike. No Ellington? No Kind of Blue? No Basie? No Coltrane? No....yep, you're right (or, as we like to say, your right) the question is impossible. But for what it's worth, my brother asked me a similar question a couple years ago, and I gave him Kind of Blue. He is a SERIOUS jazz nut these days...
