Sorry but sax has to go Charlie Parker who changed the face of jazz and music with it.

Piano goes to Art Tatum hands down. Bud Powell was a better combo player though.

Trumpet goes to Miles. Could make an argument for Clifford Brown.

Bass I have to give to either Scott LaFaro or Milt Hinton.

Drums goes to Elvin Jones.
