Woody Shaw, Pharoah Sanders, Ahmad Jamal, Dorothy Ashby, Alice Coltrane, Donald Byrd, Cal Tjader, Bobby Hutcherson, Bill Evans, Art Blakey, Gary Bartz, Roy Ayers, Thelonious Monk, Herbie Hancock, Bobbi Humphrey, Sun Ra, and Miles Davis are my all time fav band leaders <3

and that doesnt even begin to cover bands, library music composers, modern jazz artists, and more band leaders that i couldnt think of off the top of my head. jazz is such a journey and i feel like i havent even scratched the surface with it
