for sureee. bop and post bop mainly...Dizzy, Coltrane, Miles Davis, Cannonball Adderley (and Nat Adderly), Harold Land, Clifford Brown, Duke Ellington, Coleman Hawkins, Gerry Mulligan. It's incomparable.
I played in my high school jazz band and still get together with some people and session on occasion. my number one preset on the car radio is the jazz station in Denver, as they always have new programming on, and I've rarely heard the same song twice, and they have a lot of recordings that are done in their own studio so you cant hear them anywhere else.
I love jazz.
I like the classics...Miles, the bird, coltrane, sonny, herbie, cannonball
BUT
you guys should really look into newer people like joshua redman, kenny garret, michael brecker
