Vibraphone/ xylophone for me.  And Bobby Hutcherson is my fave player.

I also like drum player well. Because the musician after the 60's had often shifted to fusion, a reformative drum player had a lot of opinions made not to appear so much for the rhythm of pure Jazz.

Of course, Tony Williams was a reformative drum player. Elvin Jones and Jack DeJonette also do a lot of good performances.

It is felt that a drum player these days when they have been succeeded to is a musician such as Bill Stewart.

I chose guitar because my background is in guitar but I tend to appreciate all instruments equally. (I played a baritone euphonium and xylophone in high school though I also know keyboards and some drums/percussion).

i wonder if some would say post-1939 is rubbish



Didn't Mr. Marsalis say that?


I think he'd be in the "No post-69 jazz"
69 is my fave, so I'm a pro-69Pig TongueLOL

I don't even know of all of these exist, but I tried not to get too outrageous with my choices. And this is generally meant in a small (trio/quartet, qunitet at most) "standard" jazz ensemble, but if you prefer to take it in a more fusion/avant direction please be my guest.
I went for the fender rhodes (el piano), but the way McCoy Tyner played on the acoustic pianogets deeper under my skin...
 
I also like flute (Stieg, Mann, for ex)

That really crazy high speed Bop that Parker and Diz played might be jazz at its most refined point. There is no other music that sounds anything like it.
