Player #17: Wynton Marsalis, trumpet, Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra
Does this make up for me leading us into accordian hell?
Player #18: Maynard Ferguson, trumpet
(Sure thing, Chefguy. I could just picture you sitting there grinning and saying to yourself, “Find a match for this, damn you.” That album does look nice, though. You heard it yet?)
Player #19: Freddie Hubbard, Trumpet
Player #20 – Donald Byrd, Trumpet
Player #21 - Pepper Adams, baritone sax
(Adams played with Byrd on numerous albums, including 1959’s BYRD IN HAND.)
Player #22 – Gerry Mulligan, Bari sax
Player #23 – Chet Baker, Trumpet
Player #23: J.J. Johnson, trombone
(Both played on stuff together. Like what? Like “The Birth Of The Cool.” And stuff.)
I assume you want people to try to play from memory, for if I went to a music database and typed in the name of some jazz standard [Birdland, A-Train, How High the Moon, etc…] I would get a list of just about every jazz artist ever. 
Peace.
Slight Hijack - what is the most recorded jazz standard?
Some of these things will require internet assistance, I’m sure. It would be great if memory would suffice, but there’s no way to enforce such a rule so it’s pointless to try.
I have no idea about the most recorded jazz standard or tune, but I would bet that the chord changes to “I Got Rhythm” have been used more than any other set. That reuse of chord sequences to support different melodies is common enough and the “heads” built from similar progressions are numerous.
How High The Moon is another, as is A Train and Round Midnight. I imagine some website has that trivia but I don’t know which. Good questions, though.
Player #24 – Oscar Peterson, piano
(This to get us back on track since JJ and Chet both recorded with previously mentioned Stan Getz and Getz recorded with Peterson)
Unless the new player plays the same instrument, please indicate how the switch in instruments is connected (band, combo, recording, state, whatever)
Mulligan and Baker are connected from their pianoless quartet of the 50’s.
player 35 - Bill Evans, piano
(thus fulfilling my rule that No Jazz Thread Shall Omit Mention of Bill Evans)
#25, that is, not 35
Sorry…
#26: Tony Oxley. Played drums with Bill Evans (and Eddie Gomez, b.) on a compilation called ‘Live at the Festival’ (Ljubjiana Jazz Festival).
#27 Shelley Manne, drums
#28: Joe Morello, drums, played with Dave Brubeck Quartet (Brubeck, piano; Gene Wright, bass; Paul Desmond, tenor sax)
#29 Buddy Rich, drums
(I spelled Shelly’s name wrong, and Desmond played alto)
Hey, Chefguy, this instrument could go a while, huh?
#30: “Sentimental Journey”, played by Tommy Dorsey Band (trombone). Buddy Rich played for Dorsey.
#30 Art Blakey, drums
#31 Curtis Fuller, trombone (played with Blakey and the Jazz Messengers)
