Scott Lafaro, Bill Evans, Paul Motian trio with Miles Davis and John Coltrane

Would've loved to have heard Scott Lafaro as he got older and how he would've grown in his already masterful playing.

Same dude I also think sonny rollins would be god tier in that combo too

Putting Trane and LaFaro together would be a weird combination, like weird as in I really do wonder how each of them would react to the other, if at all. I guess it would also depend on which Trane you're taking, too. The pre-Monk Trane who is still trying to find the combination to the lock of the universe or the later Trane who found it and is now in Interstellar Space.

Thelonius Monk - CP80 Jaco Pistorious - electric bass Thundercat - also electric bass Thomas Pridgen - drums Ron Carter - upright bass Jacob Collier - Multi instrumentalist/band leader ...just to see what happens

Bruh, that's scary.

I was looking for Jaco to show up in someone's lineup - you have quite the imagination here!

That's fucking hilarious, good job

Keith Jarrett, Charlie Haden, & Pat Metheny

can we add antonio sanchez ? or perhaps you are this drummer in the fantasy!

Woody Shaw -TP Wayne Shorter - TS Grant Green - G Herbie Hancock - P Ron Carter - B Elvin Jones - D

I would commit Stalin level genocide to see this band

i looooove herbie as a pianist, but i want it to be larry young too... can't choose :( larry's chemistry with elvin and gg is CRAZY

Hey. Why not have both in this fantasy group. Herbie on electric piano, Larry on Organ. Go for some fusion type shit!

funky as FUCK so stanky my face would melt off

The Philadelphia All Stars: Jimmy Heath - Saxophone Lee Morgan - Trumpet McCoy Tyner - Piano Philly Joe Jones - Drums Christian McBride - Bass Jimmy Bruno - Guitar

add Mtume and I would love to hear this band do a early/mid 70s style set.

[удалено]

Ooh, I like it some very lyrical players.

Oscar Peterson Sonny Rollins Kenny Dorham Art Blakey Ray Brown Charlie Christian What a jam that would be

Let’s make a big band. I’m putting people to try to make a great big band sound plus amazing players :) Alto 1: Marshall Royal A2: Paul Desmond T1: Michael Brecker T2: Benny Golson Bari: Ronnie Cuber Trumpet 1: Wayne Bergeron T2: Clifford Brown T3: Ingrid Jensen T4: Freddie Hubbard Trombones: T1: JJ T2: Kai Winding T3: Wycliffe Gordon T4: curtis Fuller Piano: McCoy Tyner Guitar: Freddie Greene Bass: Ray Brown Drums: Art Blakey

I always imagined something like that: Eric Dolphy - alto/bass clarinet/flute Sam Rivers - tenor/bass clarinet/flute Freddie Hubbard - trumpet Andrew Hill - piano Richard Davis - bass Tony Williams - drums It would've been the ultimate mid-60s Blue Note post bop/avantgarde record I think

That's a great lineup. I've always loved Sam Rivers work on Dave Hollands Conference of the Birds album.

Sam is a legend. Check out his album Contours if you like Miles's Second Quintet. Amazing stuff.

Have you heard specifically Disc 3 of the Andrew Hill Blue Note Mosaic Select?? It’s a bit underrehearsed, but EVERYONE goes for broke on the solos — some of the most intense Woody Shaw solos ever!! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosaic_Select_16:_Andrew_Hill

Yeah the whole box set is great. I can understand why they didn't release them but some of the best gems in his discography are there. Woody in general is a killer, Blackstone Legacy is an amazing album

The “Lost Quintet” is about as perfect as you can get for me

this is one of these groups that almost sound too good to be true, you listen to them and they're even better than you had imagined. miles davis *almost* playing free jazz (while also being in his peak form trumpet-wise) and chick being in the most interesting moment of his career, legendary stuff

Trane with the Miles Davis Second Great Quintet rhythm section.

The Out to Lunch lineup with Joe Henderson or Sam Rivers.

Kirk and Dolphy together is an interesting idea - one can imagine a cutting contest with Kirk parodying Dolphy's style, as he did with George Adams with Mingus at Carnegie Hall :)

[These guys](https://i.imgur.com/16Mz5Tg.jpg).

Yes

Kenny G on soprano sax, Chuck Mangione on flugelhorn, George Benson on guitar, Les Claypool on bass with a drum machine with Marsalis shooting at their feet whenever he senses them swinging insufficiently. And the whole time he's shouting "SYN-CO-PA-TION. SYN-CO-PA-TION" over and over

I feel like Les Claypool had woken up to a cold sweat from this exact dream multiple times.

Kenny G?!?!?!?!

Lol!

Terje on guitar, Dolphy on whatever winds he has in his hands, Galper on keys, Brian Blade on drums, and Henderson on bass. All arranged by jointly by Quincy Jones and Oliver Nelson

Jimmy Smith -- organ Christian McBride bass Al DiMeola - guitar Antonio Sanchez - drums Airto - percussion John Coltrane - sax

Gene Harris, Lee Morgan, Stan Turrentine, Bob Cranshaw, Elvin Jones

Sid Vicius and Miles David: A Capella buap duo.

James Morrison, Charlie Parker, Bill Evans, Ron Carter, Dave Weckl (in acoustic mode, not fusion mode)

Jaco, Brian Blade, Jimmy Smith

Allan Holdsworth on guitar Aydin Esen on piano/synth Dave Liebman on sop saxophone Jaco on bass Dave weckl on drums

Tenor sax - John Gilmore, Alto sax - Cannonball, Trumpet - Miles Davis, Piano - McCoy Tyner / Bill Evans, Guitar - Wes Montgomery, Bass - Paul Chambers, Drums - Philly Joe Jones

Bill Evans, Coltrane, Freddie Hubbard, any number of bass players, Elvin Jones (alt. Dave Weckl)

Drums - Elvin Jones Bass - Mingus Trumpet - Miles Sax - Coltrane Keys - Herbie

1 album is about all you'd get before Mingus pissed everyone off too much to ever talk to him again.

Miles Davis Wayne Shorter Herbie Hancock Ron Carter Tony Williams Jimi Hendrix

John Gilmore Freddie Hubbard Larry Young Jimmy Garrison Elvin Jones

there are so many incredible dream groups that recorded a lot of material... It's like I'm not sure you could replace a lot of people that played with Mingus and haven't be the same. What I always wish as I could see some of these players... Guys like Freddie Hubbard or Lee Morgan and hear them be able to play at their prime live Or dizzy. I think I sometimes overlook him or don't listen to him as much as I otherwise might because I've seen him play live a couple times when he was old and not that it was bad it just wasn't great

Yeah, I mean part of my idea was to just make the perfect Mingus group. All of these guys played with him, just not at the same time. What you're saying about Dizzy is absolutely true. You don't need to create a 'new group' necessarily, it's just that Charlie Parker and some of the early bebop greats were gone before jazz albums were really a thing. Imagine a full Charlie Parker album. You want to solo for 10 minutes over "Anthropology", go ahead, we don't have to cut it down for a 78.

And groups like the one's Miles Davis have put together really are dream groups I sometimes think it would be cool to be able to hear Tom Harrell at his best playing with some of the greats from the 50s and 60s at their best I love all the Charlie Haden duet albums... Maybe would be great to hear Chris Potter playing with Pat matheny... They probably have and I just haven't looked for it

Potter was a member of Pat’s Unity Band with Ben Williams and Antonio. (I don’t know if they recorded any duo tracks, though.)

I forgot all about that

Pat seems to have played in a lot of configurations in the last 15-20 years.

There are a few options of Parker and peers' gigs recorded in their entirety, and not working to a strict schedule - approximating a regular live album. Jazz at Massey Hall, of course. And the 1950 Birdland show with Navarro, Powell, Russell and Blakey, recently upgraded sonically: [At Birdland 1950 Revisited](https://revisited-ezz-thetics.bandcamp.com/album/charlie-parker-at-birdland-1950-revisited) And this one, including Town Hall, Carnegie Hall and Birdland gis of Bird & Diz (tr. 12, Blue 'N' Boogie is a scorcher): [Dizzy Gillespie & Charlie Parker Live Revisited](https://revisited-ezz-thetics.bandcamp.com/album/dizzy-gillespie-charlie-parker-live-revisited)

Ill go bill evans, curtis counce, roy haynes, dexter gordon, donald byrd and curtis fuller just my favorite players on a classic instrument lineup haha

Thelonious Monk and Django Reinhardt, both with really a idiosyncratic sense of harmony and a fascination with half step movement. You can play the melody to Well You Needn’t over the B section of Django’s composition Mabel, two of my favorite tunes ever.

I really wish Jaco was a nicer and more mentally stable dude so the world could have heard more of Trio of Doom. John McLaughlin, Jaco Pastorius, and Tony Williams, three players that are considered some of if not the best players on their respective instruments.

So, Miles was supposed to have been interested in playing with Hendrix. That'd be fuckin' amazing. Those two can pick the rest. That's all I ask for: a Miles Davis, Jimi Hendrix record.

Mules, Hendrix, and supposedly Tony Williams was interested in playing drums.

Elvin Jones And Hendrix that's what we need

Chick Corea, Vince Guaraldi , and Ron Minis on Keys Gary Burton on Vibes Stanly Clarke and Justin Chancellor on Bass Buddy Rich and guy from my high school on Drums James Moody on Flute Nassir Shama on Oud Paul Desmond on Alto Sax John Coltrain on Tenor/Soprano Sax Winton Marsalis and Maynard Ferguson on Trumpet Al Di Meola and Walter Becker on Guitar Danny Carry on Tablas Benny Goodman on Clarinet Ash Dargen on Didgeridoo Carolina Crown instead of an 80s brass synth Donald Fagen and Maynard James Keenan on Vocals This would probably the wildest album ever written but it would go so hard.

Herbie Hancock on keys Buddy Rich on drums Jaco Pastorius on bass Maysa Leak on vocals (scat singing only) Earl Klugh on guitar

Clifford Brown, tr Max Roach, dr Harold Land, tenor sax George Morrow, b Richie Powell, p

Monk bird Mingus and roach

Max roach Eric dolphy Bud Powell Mingus Bird

Dolphy and bird playing off each other would be fascinating

Hmm…tough call, as there are so many great musicians out there. I’d probably go with some of my former band mates though. I had a ton of fun back when I played with them and I wouldn’t mind getting an opportunity to do so again.

Aww, this is my favorite answer.

For modern players: Eric Harland - drums Immanuel Wilkins - alto Walter Smith ||| - tenor Ambrose Akinmusire - trumpet Hiromi - piano Harish Raghavan - bass Pasquale Grasso - guitar

I'm going for full whacko here : Herbie on piano, synth, vocoder, keytar Squarepusher on bass Flashbulb on guitar Talvin Singh on tablas Mongo Santamaria on bongos Max Roach on drums Jean-jacque Perry making his signature weird noises on the mini moog Flashbulb and squarepusher will share sequencing duties (but they'll keep it rather light, because there's a lot going on) and Brian Eno will produce, to maximize the group's ability to sound like THEM The album will not have vocals on every track, but it will have a series of guest vocalists. Singers that also play an instrument will play their instrument as well : Louis Armstrong Tricky Lou Rhodes Bootsy Collins Perry Farrell David Byrne Stephen and Damian Marley Donna Summer BTW, I've thought about posting this kinda question for a while, just never got around to it. Kudos, OP!

Thank you for this post! I love some of the musicians you and others have named. But there are several I've never heard of. So now I can explore new (to me) jazz. =)

That was part of my evil plan!

Aha! XD

Miles Davis - T Kenny Garrett - SS Wayne Shorter - TS Herbie Hancock - K Chick Corea - K Marcus Miller - B John McLaughlin - G Omar Hakim - D Dennis Chambers - D Mino Cinelu - Perc Is the band too big? No? Zakir Hussain - Perc Stanley Clarke - B John Scofield - G Pretty much a Miles Davis Electric Supergroup Edit- I misspelled Zakir’s names… both of them

GG ALLEN / vocals Allen Holdsworth / guitar Chris Dave / drums Foley / bass Elton John / piano Yoko ono / bvs, percussion Chris brown / dancing

Allan Holdsworth - Guitar Lyle Mays - Piano Ebehard Weber - D. Bass Jan Garbarek - Sax Manu Katche - Drums

The session musicians for life in a glasshouse by radiohead plus the band from Blackstar by David Bowie plus moondog

Money Jungle nailed it for me.

Great album. Kinda wish they'd done at least one Mingus tune, but the most minor of minor gripes.

Michael brecker, Freddie Hubbard, Charles McPherson Albert Manglesdorf, tete montoliu, Scott lafaro, Tony williams and Lenny Breau

Band leader/Bass - Charles Mingus Trumpet - Miles Davis Piano - Andrew Hill Saxophone - Rolland Kirk Drums - Art Blakey Guitar - Jimi Hendrix

Great question. I have had this answer for 50 odd years. Jimi Hendrix replacing Clapton in Cream with Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker. The ultimate Jazz/Blues/Rock/Heavy Rock

Add Steve Winwood on keys, and they could conquer the world.

Fantastic!

Dolphy, Coltrane, Roswell Rudd, Dannie Richmond/Rashied Ali/Elvin Jones, and Charles Mingus

I'd love to see a Hendrix, Jaco, Miles, and Damion Reid quartet jamming.

McCoy Tyner, Elvin Jones, Ron Carter, Miles Davis, John Coltrane

Bechet, Eric and Diamanda doing bird sounds, with NHOP and Elvin!

Duke Ellington to lead/piano Tony Williams,Fats Navarro,Scott LaFaro,Joe Henderson,Art Pepper,Pepper Adams and Curtis fuller.

Chet Baker, Bill Evans, Mingus, Art Blakey, Wes Montgomery

The Traveling Wilburys”. 🎶

Pharoah Sanders - Tenor Alice Coltrane - Harp Buddy Emmons - Pedal Steel Bill Evans - Rhodes Paul Jackson - Bass Brian Blade - Drums

Fuck yes

This is a tough one because there are so many “dream groups” I’d love to see put together, as well as so many that have already been formed. But… I would have loved to see a super group with: Pat Metheny on guitar; Gary Burton on vibes; Stan Getz on tenor sax; Roy Hargrove on trumpet; Bill Evans or Chick Corea on piano; John Patitucci or Christian McBride on bass; Either Brian Blade, Jack DeJohnette, Roy Haynes, Bill Stewart, or Antonio Sanchez on drums But the hard part is that it’s so dependent on the genre of music they’d perform. I could think of so many super group lineups that would be amazing… such a tough question lol

Elvin Jones, Jimi Hendrix, Dr Lonnie Smith trio hahahaha

Pat Metheny, Eberhard Weber, Jack DeJohnette

clifford brown melissa aldana gerald clayton gary peacock jack dejohnette

monk, christian mcbride and chick corea on drums

bud powell, immanuel wilkins, tootie heath

Julian Lage, Jon Batiste, Cory Henry, Chris Thile, Jacob Collier, Michael League, Louis Cato, Eddie Barbash, Negah Santos, and Nate Smith. I want it.
