Wow, there are lot's of hot young Jazz artists today the kids can learn from, not to mention the old Jazz masters such as Pat Metheny, Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock, Bob James, etc. How about Keiko Matsui, Joyce Cooling, Richard Elliot, Lyle Mayes, George Duke, Grover Washington, and on, and on......
Al ... good players, yes ... BUT ... I guess because of my age (67) I just don't put guys like Richard Elliott and the rest, even Grover, as much as I really liked his playing, in the same category as Miles, Getz, Brubeck, Desmond, Mulligan, Oscar, Jimmy Smith, etc ....
