I have no idea about a prog one, but I had this jazz band in mind for a long time:

Thelonious Monk - piano
John Coltrane - tenor and soprano saxes
Miles Davis - trumpet
Charles Mingus - bass
Max Roach (or Art Blakey) - drums
With Eric Dolphy as a guest on flute for additional awesomeness.

Never gonna happen since all of these musicians have passed away, but one can dream. Even if they were alive though, I highly doubt they would be able to play together. Monk, Miles and Mingus would for sure get in a fight. Tongue

I'll just go with the Gentle Giant lineup that did Three Friends.

Not Brubeck on Piano? Not Buddy Rich on Drums?

I love Brubeck too, but Monk takes the cake for me personally. The high priest of Bop after all. As for Buddy Rich, I'm simply not familiar enough with him (yet). Embarrassed
