Born on this day in 1921, the small in stature but giant of jazz Erroll Garner. The first concert I ever attended as a teen in my native Liverpool in the mid 1960s was to see Garner and I was hooked on jazz from then on.

The greatest jazz bassist/composer Charles Mingus was born on this day in 1922 in Nogales, Arizona. This is one of my all time favourite tracks. Try to keep still while listening to it. Impossible.

He invented jazz in 1902. Well, according to well-known braggard and New Orleans bordello pianist Jelly Roll Morton. Setting that aside, he was a brilliant pianist and bandleader and this is one of my all-time favourites.

Born on this day in 1969 in Surrey, classically-trained Jason Rebello succeeded Kenny Kirkland in Sting’s band. His heroes include Herbie Hancock, so I chose Cantaloupe Island by the great man.

Born on this day in Chicago 1919 and died at 59, blind pianist and teacher Lennie Tristano had a huge influence on jazz although he withdrew from performing regularly. I’ve chosen Line Up from his seminal 1956 album Tristano.
