Gary Burton. His playing, technique and knowledge are unreal. Although I'm mainly a keyboardist, I had the great fortune to attend one of his seminars back in the early 80s. Vibes are set up like a keyboard so I thought I'd check it out . Maybe pick up a tidbit or two I could incorporate into my own playing. He didn't give a vibes lesson... he gave a jazz theory master class that worked for any instrument. Nutshell: scales. Major, minor, Ionian, Dorian, pentatonic, alternate, chordal, polytonal,etc. Blew me away! He changed my playing and my life.

Probably Gary Burton. He seems the most innovative.

Bobby Hutcherson. He helped jazz progress, big time.
