I've learned so much from things people have said on this forum. So here's a fun question that may be able to enlighten all of us: who are your favorite non-gypsy jazz artists? Let's make the rule that you can list up to 3. If this has already been done here, I apologize. I'll get it started & we'll see if others are interested in joining in:
Grant Green
Hank Mobley
The Carter Family
