Poll question: Which jazz artist is DA BOMB as far as you're concerned?

There's so many of them, and I may leave out your favorite, but if I did, please discuss below.

[Blue-Jay]

1. I like all of the above.

If i HAD to pick a favorite, it'd probably be Bird, though.

P.S. - You'll probably get some shit for not including Trane.

11. Partial to Bill Evans (piano) myself

[progmom]

12. I am completely unable to chose just one.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

14. You mean Ravi Coltrane?

Robbie Coltrane is the guy who plays Hagrid in the Harry Potter movies...

[progmom]

16. i love that you know Ravi Coltrane

:loveya:

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

18. hehe

it's difficult to not pick up jazz when you're living under the same roof as a jazz studies (sax) major ;)

[Spider Jerusalem]

17. Most of the above.

Robbie Coltrane isn't a jazz musician, though. Youre thinking of JOHN Coltrane.

Also: Duke Ellington, Eric Dolphy, Cannonball Adderley, Bill Evans, many others...

for vocalists: Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughan, Jimmy Scott, many many others...

[progmom]

20. literally, i suppose, it would have to be Cannonball Adderley

:D

[Bossy Monkey]

21. Turns out Ernest "Boom" Carter played jazz after "Born To Run"

or so the internets say.

[regularguy]

22. Wayne Shorter!

Although I love many of the people on your list too! I'm particularly fond on his Bluenote albums from the (more-or-less) mid-sixties.
