>miles david
Bennie Maupin, Lonnie Liston Smith, Terje Rypdal, Pat Martino, Keith Jarrett (he's big actually but whatever), Miles Okazaki, Freddie Hubbard, GoGo Penguin
These aren't really "less known" since they're very popular among jazz listeners but in terms of mainstreamness they're like one step down from Davis, Coltrane and Ellington and you should definitely be familiar with all of these:

Some of these aren't really lesser known, but not as popular as the names you listed.
Charles Mingus
Chet Baker
Eumir Deodato
Dizzy Gillespie
Oscar Peterson
Jaco Pastorius
Herbie Hancock
Kamasi Washington
Meade Lux Lewis
listen to Pharoah Sanders, familia
I co-sign Kamasi Washington
I always feel that trombonist are ignored when it comes to jazz so you should check out Carl Fontana, a Frank Rosalino, Bill Watrous, Wycliffe Gordon, slide Hampton, Urbie Green, JJ Johnson, Kai winding, And Jack Teagarden to name a few
>no Conrad Herwig
you know you just fucked up right?
>Keith Jarrett
is trash
>Kamasi Washington
stop this meme at once
>post mentions GoGo Penguin
>calls out Keith Jarrett for being trash
Dusko Goykovich
I don't even know who GoGo Penguin is, but it sounds autismal
Hampton Hawes
Always my go-to pianist.
Charles Mingus
Elmo Hope
Mingus , lesser known
Blasphemy
Washboard Rhythm Kings youtu.be
not really lesser know but I haven't heard anyone say Django Reinhardt. youtu.be
Eumir Deodato and Oscar Peterson are the only unpopular artists you listed.
Sonny Rollins, Michael Brecker, Gerry Mulligan, Errol Garner, Sam Rivers, Paul Bley, Oliver Nelson, The Modern Jazz Quartet, McCoy Tyner, Joe Henderson
Biréli Lagrène, Grant Green, Jim Hall, Joe Pass, Sylvain Luc (all guitarists)
yo but the epic was really good...sure maybe he shouldn't be lumped in with jazz greats and maybe his record was so successful only because he's on brainfeeder and maybe it's a little longwinded
but u kno u gotta recognize talent when u hear it, at least give him creds for his composition skills
Charlie Rouse

cannonball adderley and stan getz are the only ones I know that haven't been listed already
newer:
brian blade (my fav living jazz drummer), aaron parks, robert glasper, kurt rosenwinkel, christian scott, ambrose akinmusire

Art motherfucking Blakey and Max motherfucking Roach
also Herbie Hancock
>lesser known
you fucking retard
Hell yeah my nigga Blakey
Outside of Sup Forums I never saw him listed along the guys from OP's post, he's on the edge of being lesser known I think.
You're literally wrong
GoGo Penguin are fucking great. Not straight Jazz but they have amazing interplay
