There are A LOT of jazz giants. I only make thread about my personal favorites. :)

Louis Armstrong will get a thread because he The FATHER of MODERN POP MUSIC. Every trumpet played that came after him took parts of his style.

Also, stay tuned for Duke Ellington, the greatest music composer America has ever produced (with Prince being second).
