1. Charlie Parker

[progmom]

2. I meant hot like "ooh, i drool over..."

I drool over his playing, but not his bod.

[JimmyJazz]

4. BE MORE SPECIFIC

next time!!!! Please :7

:hi: I haven't seen you all day!

[progmom]

14. Hey there!!

I've been here most of the day. Where have you been?

I just changed the wording to make it more clear!

[JimmyJazz]

15. I dunno where I have been - not here?

:evilgrin:

no se, kimosabe!

[progmom]

19. well I missed you

wherever you were.

:pals:

[JimmyJazz]

21. Thank you, my Sweet!

I was in good hands, I assure you :7

[autorank]

3. McCoy Tyner...what a list you have. Now it's complete.

[progmom]

5. Well I do love McCoy Tyner, really, I do!

But I never really thought of him as a hottie.

[autorank]

8. progmom, IMAMORON. Thought you meant 'hottest' as in musicianship.

Silly me. Should have checked out the pics. In the Biblical sense of 'hottest', I'll pick Cassandra Wilson. Foxy Lady.

[progmom]

28. No kidding.

It's almost enough to make a girl consider changing teams!

[autorank]

32. Now, thats the spirit! A true jazz fan.

[tishaLA]

6. Joshua Redman

Cassandra Wilson is much better in front of a camera than in front of a microphone, IMHO.

[progmom]

13. Ooh - them's fightin' words!

Not really.
But I do love Cassandra!

[tridim]

7. Medeski Martin and Wood

Wait, are you talking about hot as in good looking?

[progmom]

16. well i was...

...and in other pics, they're a little better looking...

[guitar man]

9. Diana Krall

Hot woman, hot musicianship. :loveya:



<edit to add>



mmmmm, mmmmmmm!

[CatBoreal]

11. AMEN!

Mrs. Costello is hot!

[guitar man]

12. Mrs. Costello

gawd, I am going to have to get used to that. How the hell did he she wind up with him?

[CatBoreal]

17. Love...

Reminds me of Ric Ocasik and Paulina Porizkova.

They met, instant attraction, he was married at the time, eventually Elvis and the Mrs divorced and he visited her after one of her concerts and that's all she wrote.

I think it's terribly romantic.

[progmom]

18. I thought he was already divorced, or at least separated.

I remember a friend of mine was hanging out with Diana the day before she met Elvis for the first time. She was shopping for his CDs, since she had never really listened to him before and was really nervous about meeting him. :)

I think they were married within about 18 months of then!

[lenidog]

10. Can't believe you left off

Django Reinhardt

[progmom]

31. Yeah, I guess he had kind of a William Powell thing going...

[lenidog]

35. Well

I think it was also that he was a Gypsy and from all reports was a silver tongued devil and could charm any woman.

[brentspeak]

20. Chet Baker ended up looking like someone's nightmare

Drug-dealer fights knocked out almost all his teeth, years of heroin abuse made him look a freshly-dug-up corpse.

He did have a unique, sorrowful trumpet tone -- mirrowed his life perfectly.

[progmom]

23. Yep

from this:


to this:

[jdots]

22. Ernie Andrews yes old Ernie n/t

[NightTrain]

24. Nina Simone, perhaps?

Decide for yourself:

[progmom]

25. Definitely.

She got a little...weird later in life, but she was hot all the way around when she was younger.

[NightTrain]

29. I just love her version of "Trouble In Mind."

:loveya:

[progmom]

30. And...

Don't Smoke In Bed
I Want A Little Sugar In My Bowl
Mississippi Goddam
Love Me Or Leave Me

Yeah, Nina!

[Rabrrrrrr]

26. Since none of those are REAL jazz musicians: I have to say other, Kenny G

I mean come on! Look at him! With that hair? That's what a musician is supposed to look like, especially a jazz musician.

[progmom]

27. Oh Rabrrrrr!

If I didn't love you so much...!!!

:bounce:

[arwalden]

33. Does Harry Connick, Jr. Count?

[progmom]

34. Absolutely!

He definitely has his hottie moments!!

(but these aren't them!):
