The quiet cats in the rhythm section, without whom Bird & Diz would have been very different people . . . Duke Jordan, Dodo Marmarosa, Hank Jones . . .
Bird's greatest quintet was the one with Kinney Dorham (tp), Al Haig (p), Tommy Potter (b) and Max Roach (d), recorded in late 48 and early 49. Not that they were all the greatest individual players, but they were a great collective that pushed Bird into some of his greatest performances, and sounded very good behind him.

Bud Powell's will be the name I drop, just 'cause I want to see a name other than Bird's and Mingus, while in on the bebop scene, was oh so much more than any one stylistic box could contain.

Charlie Parker was the king of bebop, although others contributed a lot as well. I'd have to go with Bird.

Whoa, that's a tough choice. In a toss-up between Bird, Bud, Diz, Max and Brownie, I'd have to choose Diz.

Even though bird was the original, i've always liked Sonny Stitt even better than bird.
