Jazz musicians in my top 100 of all time:
12 Miles Davis
20 John Coltrane
47 Thelonious Monk
63 Ahmad Jamal
70 Charlie Parker
79 Vijay Iyer
95 Ornette Coleman
96 Herbie Hancock
98 Duke Ellington
That's 5 more than there were in 2010. Vijay Iyer's the only young modern guy on that list. Besides him, I did start listening to more modern jazz just the past couple months, so I want to explore that more.
