I was actually thinking the exact same thing. Paul Chambers is a favourite of mine. Also surprised at the lack of Elvin Jones. I absolutely love his playing especially on Love Supreme. Not much Wynton Kelly either is also unexpected, having played on some of Wes' biggest albums I'd kind of expect to see more of him.

But then I guess they're sort of "obvious," too.

EDIT: Heh, just noticed that Elvin was mentioned a few times in the first posts. Don't know how I missed that.
