a great era of jazz that is often overlooked is the west coast cool scene centered especially in the san francisco area, but this was more an excuse to have dr funk in a list
Joe Cool Tentet (circa 69) Vince Guaraldi - Piano/Vocals/Leader Stan Getz - Tenor Sax Bola Sete - Guitar Eddie Duran - Guitar Gerry Mulligan - Baritone Sax Art Pepper - Alto Sax/Clarinet Sam Most - Flute Chet Baker - Trumpet Charlie Haden - Bass Billy Higgins - Drums |

I like this group! Herbie might be cool in it too, but, yeah, you gotta give it to Bud. I also dig Freddie as much as Miles really...Django would be good (if Art Tatum was on piano), but Charlie Christian is better for this group, yeah...although maybe Wes Montgomery, Joe Pass, or even George Benson might be nice as a fantasy too. On drums, Art Blakey is a great choice, but Elvin, Dannie, or Philly Jo might work too. Excuse me, while I riff on yr list...I've got too many members (12-piece hehe) & two leaders haha... John Coltrane - Tenor Sax/Soprano Sax/Co-Leader Charlie Parker - Alto sax Warne Marsh - Tenor sax Eric Dolphy - Flute/Bass Clarinet Bud Powell - Piano Freddie Hubbard, Miles Davis - Trumpets Joe Pass, George Benson - Guitars Charles Mingus - Bass/Co-Leader Tony Williams - Drums Dannie Richmond - additional percussion

Guaraldi brought us "Peanuts" music & Getz is an incredibly gifted smoothie. Art Pepper, Chet Baker and Charlie Haden are top-notch too. |

my last ensemble is the most free experimental one i could think of from the early nineties period, so i basically combined Naked City, Last Exit, and the Peter Brötzmann Tentet
The Last City Tentet (circa 93) Peter Brötzmann - Tenor Sax/Bass Sax/Leader John Zorn - Alto Sax Ken Vandermark - Clarinet/Bass Clarinet/Tenor Sax Mats Gustafsson - Baritone Sax/Soprano Sax Sonny Sharrock - Guitar Fred Firth - Guitar/Bass/Keyboards Kim Gordon - Vocals/Guitar/Trumpet Bill Laswell - Bass Ikue Mori - Drums/Drum Machine Eye Yamatsuka - Vocals/Synth/Sampling/Turntables I added Kim into this cause she does fit into the style i was thinking when i came up with this list (especially back in 93), she introduced jazz to Thurston, her vocal styling would contrast against Eye, and i honestly believe she is the most avant and free guitarist in SY, even more so then Thurston and Lee |

i'd say that miles davis, herbie hancock, chick korea, and john mcloughlin (on In A Silent Way) is pretty much perfect, but they could have done with a slightly more adventurous percussionist.

This would be insane in the membrane, to use the parlance haha of our times. I think Sunny is better than Andrew, but in my fantasy band he would also have Han and Chris there also. oops, I forgot Sonny; Fred Cracklin is gonna raise hell!

You know, I really like Teddy Wilson. |
