I think I’m more into jazz piano and guitar at the moment, more cool jazz. I am also partial to big band and vocal stuff. I love a good double bass too. Think Oscar Peterson Trio, the other famous jazz people, Art Blakeley etc

Have probably listened to vocal jazz the least but am open to recs!

For guitar, you’re definitely going to want Django Reinhardt. Totally unique technique, since he only really had one functional hand. If you ever see a photo of him, you’ll see it - the fingers on his left hand were so badly burned he couldn’t use most of them

Emily Remler is a personal favourite. Wes Montgomery. Gabor Szabo.

Piano…Art Tatum, Herbie Hancock and Dave Brubeck. PARTICULARLY for Brubeck, an album called Take Five. Duke Ellington was also personally a pianist, though he veers into big band sound more than the others I’ve named

    Also, as a personal touch, there’s a local composer called Elliot Lamb whose work I love.
    
    I’ve known them for twenty years - went to school with them - and will suggest them to anyone who’ll listen. El is a brilliant trombone player
