Oh you're absolutely right, and such is the nature of jazz in general. It's history is built upon it's bandleaders mentoring and showcasing its supporting talent. I'm just saying that I think the implied focus of this thread (I could very well be talking out of my ass) is piano trios and solo piano, but the fact that you recommended Brubeck, such a great and legendary musician, pretty much blows my theory out of the water, so I'll shut up now.
