    Tryin to get a big list of the best jazz artists of both styles cos I'm a classic jazz man myself and I hate hearin bands recommended on here that are fusion and I go out and trek lookin for their albums and stuff. Also it can be a definitive end to the "What good jazz bands are there", "Gimme some jazz to listen to" type forums.

    John Scofield: Guitar
    Dennis Chambers: Drums
    Jaco Pastorius: Bass
    Victor Wooten: Bass
    Greg Howe: Guitar (just check out his "Extraction" album with Wooten and Chambers).
    Bill Bruford: Drums and Composer

    These are mostly fusion artists, but they all rule IMO.
