This is not a competition - we're still waiting for more replies to the previous one - but, what would be your dream band line-up?
No ground rules. It could be anything from the early days in New Orleans up to the present and, speculatively, the future.
You can mix the past with the present, the local with the legends e.g. John Coltrane playing with, say, The King Bees. Jo Harrop backed by the Nelson Riddle Orchestra singing the Beatles Song Book (Oh no!) Give it a go. Lance

Love to see the Basie orchestra. Basie can have the night off the piano because Joe Webb is the man of the moment. I'd have to find room for Mike Lovatt on trumpet, Larry Carlton and vocalist Jalen N'Gonda. I'd like to hear them play the Louis Jordan songbook and Jalen can do it justice.
Wasn't that the quintet of the year that played at Massey Hall: Bird, Diz, Bud, Mingus and Max.
Or in Jazz-Rock, Trio of Doom: John, Jaco and Tony Williams.
Clifford Brown, Ben Webster, Cannonball, Wes, Mingus and Elvin - I'd buy that CD.
