Jazz Mount Rushmore

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.

Armstrong, Parker, Ellington,  Davis

I’m a newby jazz guy. Made some nice vinyl purchases over the last three years to build a decent collection. Donald Byrd is a favorite for me so far.

Coming from a mostly rock oriented background, Byrd seems to draw me into avant-garde jazz in an inviting way.
