As you probably realized

I attributed Cobhams Spectrum album with Tommy Bolin to Return to Forever

When in fact it was Mahavishnu McLaughlin alum ....and not Return

Jan Hammer too

I’m with you....the commercial jazz and jazz fusion that era was not for me much

Grover Washington and

The white guy with the long straight hair and tophat...trumpet....chuck mangione

The Allman Brothers and Roxy were jazz enough for me

I did like old school Louis Armstrong

[Mr. Mojo]

Same here -- Louis was the man.

Duke too. But I also very much like to listen to Monk, Mingus, and Miles when I'm in the mood. The real old school standout composers. And instrumentalists Bird and Diz.

Armstrong on bebop: "no melody to remember and no beat to dance to." And unlike many others of his generation of musicians, he never warmed to it.

And IIRC, you also like delta blues, Son House in particular. I've been listening to a lot of Leadbelly lately. More folkish blues than delta.
