Those guys are solid as well but they didn't quite make the cut.

Don't care much for Jazz as a listener, but trying to explore it to open up my playing at the moment. Shorter is the only guy I heard a substantial amount of stuff to say I like his playing. Don't know how great his playing is in a historical context.

Benny Golson. I love the early Jazz Messengers stuff and his work with Lee Morgan...
