I've been a little neglect in not mentioning on of the bigger names in jazz, Winton Marsalis. The man can blow a horn! His contributions to music are both jazz and classical and he has received nine Grammy awards between the two genres of music. He also received the first Pulitzer Prize for music awarded for a jazz recording,
Blood on the Fields, a three hour oratorio about slavery.
Wynton comes from a family of other jazz musicians that I'll post on later - his father Ellis (pianist), and brothers Branford (saxophonist), Delfeayo (trombonist) and Jason (drummer).
This is a duet with Joshua Redman I thought you might also enjoy:
