The Twin Cities Jazz Festival is behind us and serious fans of improvisational music may be suffering from a bit of withdrawal - notwithstanding shows from fine local musicians.
With next year's festival in mind, I asked MPR colleagues and jazz lovers Rob Byers, Kyle Wesloh and Jeff Severns Guntzel to help compile a list of artists we'd all like to see at the next festival.
Who knows, it could happen...
Here are our picks:
DAVID CAZARES
Piano: Gonzalo Rubalcaba
Guitar: Kurt Rosenwinkel, Gilad Hekselman
Bass: Christian McBride
Saxophone: Branford Marsalis
Trumpet: Nicholas Payton
Vocals: Cassandra Wilson
Big Band: Arturo O'Farrill and the Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra
JEFF SEVERNS GUNTZEL
Trombone: Wycliffe Gordon:
Drums: Brian Blade
Trumpet: Kermit Ruffins
ROB BYERS
Drums: Brian Blade Fellowship
Piano: Brad Mehldau
Guitar: Kurt Rosenwinkel
Trumpet: Dave Douglas
Big Band: Maria Schneider Big Band with Theo Bleckmann
KYLE WESLOH
Saxophone: Donnny McCaslin
Trumpet: Wynton Marsalis small group
Vocals/bass: Esperanza Spalding
Trombone: Trombone Shorty

Everyone: Local, local, local - bassist Anthony Cox, the Atlantis Quartet, percussionist Dave Hagedorn, saxophonist Brandon Wozniak, guitarist Dean Magraw ...and whatever drummer Dave King wants to do.
