Dave Holland.
It's odd, I used to love all his albums, whether trio, quartet, quintet... until he did a big band album. Now, years later I love those two big band albums the most.

Possibly my first introduction, apart from Take Five from a friend at Scouts, was Benny Goodman and this, along with a Gene Krupa album - both I got from an older brother. All the rest I can blame on Dobells on Charing Cross Road in London.
I think I saw the following in concert - Dave Brubeck, Bill Evans, Thelonious Monk, Freddie Hubbard, Stan Getz, and Dizzy Gillespie, as well as those mentioned previously - all in London.

That's impressive gigging. I think my dalliance with jazz only resulted n three gigs - Sun Ra, Ronald Shannon Jackson, and David Murray.
Very nice this - I really should seek out more from the Jazz side as not much appears in my random playlist, but mainly due to circumstances - not being able to play the LPs mostly.
Fortunately many of the greats were still alive then. Just can't remember if I ever saw Miles playing but I don't think so.
I missed out a couple - the MJQ and Ornette Coleman, and I apparently saw Monk twice according to the programmes I still have (all priced at two shillings and sixpence). And it was Stan Kenton (Orchestra), not Stan Getz.
Also have the programmes for some Blues and Gospel events, which featured Muddy Waters, Otis Spann, Mississippi John Hurt, Buddy Guy, John Lee Hooker, Mississippi Fred McDowell, along with others. And I still have the 1966 Bob Dylan programme from the Free Trade Hall concert in Manchester too (the Judas event).
Can't remember any of them though. (apart from the Dylan concert and bits of others)

I don't have as much as I used to have, the genre was particularly badly hit by one of my occasional purges. As fartdom beckons I find the kind I enjoy typically appears on the ECM label.

I still find a lot to enjoy in the music of ROVA. It seems they have a classical music "approach" to jazz. Not always easy listening but worth the effort IMO.
So today we have - Traditional/Country Dance/Folk dance music - but I'm not sure what might be included as such, since Country and Western might be included here (not one of my favourites), so I'll leave it to others as to what they want to post. One might suspect I have a particular love for one - Blowzabella - and I can only thank the person who put me on to this band.

Today we have - Dixieland/Traditional Jazz - with the British Trad Jazz revival being current when I was a youth, but of course the source material was generally a lot better, so I do have quite a few LPs of such, including an EP of The Original Dixieland Jazz Band's first (acoustic) recording in 1917. I believe electric recording, and so much better, only came about in 1922/23.
