Of course Stan Getz has to be added. If you have not seen the video of Stan
in Israel you should. It's called Stan Getz: a Musical Odyssey and is
available for Tara Music at www.jewishmusic.com and has him playing a
little klezmer clarinet stuff with Giora Feidman. Great video for something
different on Getz.

I only tossed off a few names of Jewish Jazz players.....did we mention
Ziggy Elman of Sing SIng Sing fame.

I'll think about it and get some more.
