Jazz guitar: Did you mean to leave out Joe Pass?Jazz Saxophone: No Coltrane? Or Bird? Or Cannonball Adderly? Sonny Rollins?
For Jazz Piano, I like Red Garland (no particular reason, I just like his style). Although you've got to give Oscar Peterson credit - he's phenomenal, and he's played with everyone.
Jazz Trumpet: Miles is obvious. How about Donald Byrd? Or Dizzy?
Jazz Trombone: Curtis Fuller. Although JJ Johnson isn't exactly a slouch.
And no list of Jazz musicians would be complete without Mingus - more for his writing than his playing (although that wasn't bad, either). Same could be said for Monk.
