Pre-fusion Miles, Charlie Parker, Oscar Peterson, Milt Jackson/MJQ, Coltrane, stuff like that.
There's so much of that sort of music out there, and Jazz is only a part time interest for me, that I can't see me ever reaching up to date artists...
I understand the frustration of there being so much music and not enough time to enjoy it all. I guess it all comes down to a matter of musical priorities. I couldn't imagine limiting myself to such a small period of Jazz. I guess it would be like a fan of Rock music limiting himself to only music from the 50s-60s -- Imagine all the great music he would never hear that came out in the 40 years since 1970?
But, no one can hear everything in every genre.
