Yet another "overlooked" thread but someone has to do the dirty job! Hampton Hawes and Elmo Hope were pobably treated as two mere Bud Powell imitators. They are never mentioned as important historical figures. I don't think they had the luck of playing in super important groups like Miles' quintet. Do you think Red Garland could be counted as important as he is if he didn't play with Davis? How about Marcus Roberts? His tribute to Joplin is pure genius IMHO.
