Jazz Mount Rushmore

Huh?

First, maybe we should establish what is the definition of "Jazz".

When you think "Jazz", what/who comes to mind?  For me, I do not always think of the old classic musicians mentioned above.  Miles on occasion maybe.

hoo, boy. when talkin about jazz with folks who like it but arent knowledgeable, i explain. in rock, you have the the top two ATG guitar players, duanne allman and jimi hendrix. in late 50s-early70s jazz, you have at least 20 of those guys. 

theres no mount rushmore big enough for all the faces itd need to be a mount rushmore of jazz. 

Don't think Rushmore,  Think Himalayas or Andes.

Cheers
