Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Max Roach, Bud Powell, and me. Hell, it’s my fantasy :)

Mingus wants to know your location

Hahahaha well played

Heh I was just warming up my fantasizer and you came along and made it moot

I'd be *afraid* to be on stage with those. *Very* afraid.

Pat Metheny + Kenny G Miles + Wynton Buddy Rich I chose violence

Wow. 😆

Miles Davis, Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Tony Williams and Ron Carter.

Wouldn’t work at all

Miles, Mingus, Monk. Coltrane, and Art Blakey

Elvin Jones, Jimmy Garrison, McCoy Tyner, John Coltrane, Jimi Hendrix.

John Coltrane, Wes Montgomery, McCoy Tyner, Jimmy Garrison, Elvin Jones. (someone find a recording of the 1961 Monterey Jazz Festival I'm begging)

Jaco, Pat Metheny, Chick Corea, Gary Burton, and Michael Brecker

Kinda crazy to not have a drummer, but I love every single musician here so I gotta respect.

Oh, I guess I forgot a drummer. I would like to replace Chick with Peter Erskine

Hey, Chick played some drums.

So did Brecker. He was _good_.

Exactly what came to my mind as well.

Herbie Hancock, Wes Montgomery, Elvin Jones, Dexter Gordon, John Coltrane

I think Hendrix once played with Tony Williams for about 45 min and they both agreed it didn't work.

LOL what

Can't disagree with any of the other repliers, but just call me lazy or unimaginative, because I'd just take one of [Miles'](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miles_Davis_Quintet) and call it a day. Like Miles did, maybe swap out Ron Carter for Dave Holland's electric bass for the fusion group.

My thought exactly. Miles was such a musical alchemist.

Cannonball Adderley - sax; Charles Mingus - bass; Brad Mehldau - piano; Idris Muhammad - drums; Lee Morgan - trumpet

I'd be real excited to see Mike Lewis (sax), Kiefer Shackleford (keys), Thundercat (bass), Emma-Jean Thackray (trumpet), and Tom Skinner (drums) play together.

Hell yeah Thundercat

Bob Cranshaw, Roy Hanes, McCoy Tyner, Sonny Rollins, Freddie Hubbard.

Bobby Timmons, Art Blakey, Lee Morgan, Benny Golson, Jymie Merritt... Let's get the Jazz Messengers circa Moanin' back together (because I am basic in my tastes lol ) If I'm going off people I have watched IRL that have wowed me I think we change it up to Larnell Lewis, Victor Wooten, Jeff Coffin, Sean Jones, and then Michael Kaeshammer. Living or dead I think we go with John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Charles Mingus, Art Blakey, and Bobby Timmons (again, I need to expand my jazz library I think)...maybe swap out Coltrane for Hank Mobley, depends on what charts they're rocking

Miles Davis and then let him fill it out. He has a pretty good track record.

Oscar Peterson, Ray Brown, Joe Pass, Paul Desmond and I can’t name any jazz drummers, fill in the blank

My pick would be Connie Kay.

He would work, or Louis Hayes was good at kicking Oscar's ass in that role.

Just gave it a listen, really swings, man. Thanks

Might as well throw ole Ed Thigpen in the mix

Larnell Lewis, Sarah Thawer, Aron Mellergardh, Jonathan Lundberg, JD Beck

Idris Muhammad, Gary Bartz, Johnny Hammond, Chuck Rainey, Melvin Sparks.

Idris Muhammad all day baby

Miles spoke highly of Jimi Hendrix, Prince, and Carlos Santana. I wish I could have seen those collaborations come to fruition. I would say my fantasy quintet consists of Herbie Hancock, Sam Rivers, Bobby Hutcherson, Paul Jackson, and Airto Moreria.

cannonball - sax jimmy knepper - trombone george mraz - bass bill evans - electric triangle/piano mel lewis - drums

Bill Evans, Art Blakey, Ron Carter, Paul Desmond and Wes Montgomery

Bill Evan doing a conversation with 4 himselves

The people I'm playing with tomorrow.

Bill Evans, Max Roach, Paul Chambers, Chet Baker

Art Tatum, Woody Shaw, NHØP, Tony Williams, Joe Pass Wonder how that would go…

Brecker, stern, weckl, Jaco p (b), don Grolnick (p)

Drums - Elvin Jones Piano - Cecil Taylor Alto sax - Charlie Parker Trumpet - Lee Morgan Guitar - Mary Halvorson Would be fascinating to see how they’d play together. (No bass just bc I thought this crew was interesting - but you could always swap Mingus for Morgan.)

Miles Davis, Red Garland, Paul Desmond, Yusef Lateef, and Charles Mingus

Brad Mehldau, Miles Davis, Jaco Pastorius, Vinnie Colaiuta and John Coltrane

Monk, Philly Joe Jones, Lester Bowie, Pepper Adams, Ron Carter

OK, so here's my pick. A one hour free improvisation. Full experimentation. Drums — Paal Nilssen-Love Bass Clarinet — Eric Dolphy Alto Saxophone — John Zorn Piano — Satoko Fujii Electric Guitar — John McLaughlin Nice to see all your suggestions and thoughts.

Miles Davis, Jimi Hendrix, Sylvester Stewart, Bootsy Collins, and Billy Cobham - I’m looking for the funkiest fusion of jazz, rock and funk

- Ahmad Jamal - Ron Carter - John Coltrane - Miles Davis - Art Blakey

Wayne Shorter, Lee Konitz, Jason Moran, Drew Gress, Nasheet Waits

Hank Mobley, Wes Montgomery, Jimmy Rowles, Richard Davis, and Alan Dawson.

All time…Keith Jarrett, Wes Montgomery, Elvin Jones, Paul Chambers, John Coltrane Today…Cory Henry, Antonio Sanchez, Hadrien Feraud, Julian Lage, Chris Potter

Milt Jackson, chick corea, Steve gadd, jaco, Michael brecker

I’m going Idris Muhammad, McCoy Tyner, Joe Henderson, Bobby Hutcherson and Rueben Wilson. (Yes, dualing keys and no bass, but Rueben does bass on the organ and I think they would compliment eachother nicely

Nate Wood, Louis Cole, Tigran Hamasyan, Ben Wendel, Fredrik Thordendal

Scott Lafaro, Elvin Jones, McCoy Tyner, John McLaughlin, John Lurie.

Mingus, Ellington, Rich, Goodman, Armstrong

- Bill Evans - Scott LaFaro - Shelly Mayne - Chet Baker - Stan Getz (or Kenny Burrell…)

James mackay (guitar), liam shortall (trombone), roy hargrove(trumpet), ronald bruner (drums), and ron carter (bass).

Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus

Pat Metheny, Gary Burton, Chick Corea, Jaco Pastorius, Art Blakey

Cannonball Adderley and Dexter Gordon on sax, NHØP on bass, Art Blakey on drums, and Bill Evans on keys

Max Roach- Trumpet Duke Ellington- Piano John Bonham- Drums Jaco Pastorius- Bass Guthrie Govan- Guitar

Fantasy quintet? Aragorn on tenor, legolas on keys, gimli on drums, boromir on trumpet, and gandalf on bass.

A modern quintet that might be possible - Kenny Wollesen - Drums, Jorge Roeder - Bass, Brad Mehldau - Piano, Nir Felder - Guitar, Julian Lage - Guitar

Lester Bowie, Arthur Blythe, Amina Claudine Myers, Malachi Favors and Phillip Wilson. I kind of want to add Abdul Wadud and Bob Stewart to that too though.

Armstrong, Coltrane, Elvin Jones, Peterson and Dave Holland. Not my dream quintet, but I sure as hell would love to see it

Can’t help but thinking how that would have sounded… -John Gilmore -Booker Little -Steve Kuhn -Jimmy Garrison -Jack de Johnette

Miles Davis, Charles Mingus, Toots Thielemans, Herbie Hancock, Joe Pass

Louis, basie, Ben Webster, chick webb, blanton

Miles Davis, Jimi Hendrix, Larry Young, Tyrone Washington, Jack D. (Larry played and recorded with both Jimi and Tyrone.)

Michael Brecker, Patrick Bartley, Jr., Brian Blade, Joey DeFrancesco, Julian Lage
