Jazz Mount Rushmore

I currently house five Ellington titles. I'll share them for what it's worth:

1) Vol 1 Studio Sessions Chicago 1956

2) Duke Meets Coleman Hawkins

3) Duke Meets John Coltrane

4) Live At Newport

5) Blues In Orbit

This is my quintet that would be playing at the Mt. Rushmore jazz club.

Lee Morgan

Dexter Gordon

Philly Joe

Monk

Ray Brown

Bags to make it a sextet

Hubert Laws to make it a septet

It's starting to sound like that pottery army that got discovered in China..... ;)

There's been a bevy of greats that have all 'had a grip' at times, places, 'n gigs.

Too young and cashless to invest, but not to be able to enjoy at the time...

I'll save the list of names, tho'.... *S* 👍

It is such an overwhelming question that it tends to strike most people into near muteness, but it is a good question anyway.
