Also- for me, I hear alot of deep melodic lines and ideas coming out of Kenny Wheeler and Booker Little...
to name a few!
Art too, I heard him a bunch when I lived in Austria and he was always searching and studying, never content with just playing what-ever...
"gridjam",
When were you attending Berklee? I was there from 76-80. I studied with Lou Mucci, Jeff Stout and Wayne Naus! It was a wonderful institution to study at!......and btw, I agree with all of your choices, probably never a good idea to ask who the best, most, greatest, ugliest, etc, etc. I have many, many heroes of influence!
