I would love to be able to hear Jelly Roll Morton - the Pearl and/or Bessie Smith.

Miles Davis with the 2'nd quintet. Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter, Tony Williams.
Anybody who played at The Lighthouse during the early to mid 1950's on the West Coast.
Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers with Lee Morgan.
Clifford Brown

I want it to be a good night though; Ellington's band was not terribly consistent, but when they were on, watch out!

As a bopper at heart, I'd have to start with Bird, followed by Bud at his peak, then Tadd with Fats, Wardell and Allen. (I did manage to see Dizzy three times and Monk twice.) That will do to be going on with.
