I don't know of any jazz folks on June 27, in fact the only person of any note I know of is Hellen Keller.

That's a hell of a lot better than me. I share birthdays with Linda Ronstadt (July 15). Someone help me out here.

Bach (but no jazz musicians that I am aware of)

Don't wanna spoil your fun, but Bach himself reported March 21, 1685. As the reformed Gregorian calendar was introduced only in 1701 in Germany, this date would have to be corrected to March 31 (!), 1685 to fit into our modern calendar - but this never was acknowledged widely to irrational reasons.
