BeBop Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 (edited) Just four votes. Hmmm. Fletcher Henderson James P. Johnson Elvin Jones Oscar Pettiford Hard to pass on several other "worthies", but some of them will be getting plenty of votes from other folks. It took six years to get Bud Powell "in"? Two years behind Gil Evans? Five behind Fats Waller? Edited February 12, 2014 by BeBop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillF Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 Reflecting my own tastes in the music, it would have been J J, Wes, Pettiford and Tristano. But all on the list were giants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
