I'll add some names here who in their own right were fantastic musicians with a LOT of soul, IMO, but we're never considered in the same league as some of the pioneers:
Art Pepper, stuff on Contemporary is very smooth
Sonny Stitt, Prestige/Muse recordings are fantastic; I would say he's the sax version of Oscar Peterson. Which brings me to...
Oscar Peterson, the trio with Brown and Thigpen is the best era for me
Zoot Sims, pretty fly for a white guy
Stan Getz, amazing tone and soul and a clever improviser
There are more but these artists stand out for me.
There is no better blower of the sax than Coleman Hawkins.

You're wrong...they are listed with the greats along with the pioneers.

To me, these guys are up there with the best. OPT is, IMHO, THE BEST jazz trio ever. Period.
I've got albums from Parker, Webster, Hawk, Getz, and Rollins... but Stitt gets the most rotation on my rig.

The sound of those audio recordings is as palid and dry as the music your trying to get back into. No way a recording can sound THAT polished through natural recording.
Audiophile Equipment manufacturers are paid to demo and promote this "music" at thier shows and in magazines. They even "voice" the equipment to sound thier best on these recordings.
Free yourself from trying to get back into music that no longer satisfies you get out of the Audiphile music only mentality and try some good modern music.
Listen to some, Iron and wine, Isobel Campbell, Sleigh bells, The cults, Florence and the Machine, Propellerheads, Massive attack, Chemical brothers, crystal method, Gotye, Kimbra, MGMT, Minus the bear, Armin van burren etc..

Now this is what I was hoping to get from the esteemed members on this forum. Thank you, thank you, thank you. You're a true gentleman.
Well if you go listen to "Iron and wine" you will be running back to Jazz as fast as you can!
but since I read this response I can see I misinterpreted your intent completely.
Now I don't feel sorry at all.
