I would like to second Dave Brubeck. Saw him in concert recently; friggin amazing, continues to entertain me through the years.
It also depends on what YOU dig most, theres plenty of different styles. Personally I'm in love with big band stuff like Duke Ellington.
For another few that ARENT on the list yet, I'm going to throw out Buddy Rich. Rosemary Clooney has a nice thick voice as well, if youre into jazz vocalists. Annnd Horace Silver has some great tunes too like Sister Sadie and Song For My Father. Gary Burton.
