Well, be yentl with me,
I will add them soon
Anyway, we talk about musicians here, not composers.
However, some of the musicians are also well-known and popular composers and conductors ...
The link within the artist's image is a link to one of the best examples to his/her works on media (mostly from http://www.amazon.com).
Feel free to post your comments and recommendations into a reply here.
And the GOLDEN HYENA goes to:
Best Baroque/Classical Pianist:
Glenn Gould
Note: This musician was one of the best pianist of all time. I do not lie when I say that even J.S. Bach would have been glad if he has had him as a son!
Best Alto Singer:
Maria Callas
Best Baritone Singer:
Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau
Best Classical/Romantic Pianist:
Alfred Brendel
Best Tenor Singer:
Luciano Pavarotti
Best Jazz Pianist:
Oscar Peterson
Note: I have never heard a jazz piano player playing a jazz theme in a speed which breaks the speed of a human ear - and it still sounds harmonic, jazzy and recognizable!
Best Jazz Saxophone player:
John Coltrane
Best Jazz Trumpet player:
Miles Davis
Note: Not much to tell about him. Just a few words: 34 years long leader in creating new jazz styles - and in perfection!
Best Female Jazz Singer:
Billie Holiday
Best Male Jazz Singer:
Al Jarreau
Best Blues Piano player:
Ray Charles
Best Blues Guitar player:
John Lee Hooker
Best Blues-Jazz Organ player:
Jimmy Smith
Best Soft-Jazz Alto Saxophone player:
David Sanborn
Note: This album made D. Sanborn the all-in-all world-highest salary sold saxophone player. A shame, some others were better and earned almost nothing ...
Best Jazz-Rock drummer:
Dave Weckl
Note: If you think you are a good drummer - jazz or rock - better check this out, if you have not already ...
Best E-Bass Jazz-Rock player:
Marcus Miller
Best Modern Jazz Guitar player:
John Abercrombie
Best Jazz-Rock Pianist:
Herbie H-a-n-c-o-c-k (this stupid forum won't let me write it correctly! :S )
Best Avangarde Jazz-Rock Pianist:
Joe Zawinul
Best Avangarde Jazz-Rock Guitar player:
Frank Zappa
Best Modern Blues Guitar player:
Carlos Santana
Best Rock Guitar player:
Mike Stern
... MANY MORE WILL BE ADDED, just hold on ...
