Love that Jon Hassell album, though I admit I have my doubts it belongs in a jazz poll.

Stone Flower is the second album I downloaded because of this thread. Apparently, I am mellowing out in my old age.
― EveningStar (Sund4r), Sunday, 28 August 2011 19:50 (twelve years ago) link
you're not gonna become one of those mellowed out jazz bores are you?
― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Sunday, 28 August 2011 19:51 (twelve years ago) link
Ha, let me light this cigar, then I'll tell you.
Fun exercise: For each piece on Ballads, listen to a performance by a canonized vocalist first, then play the Bailey version. So far, I think "Body and Soul" might work best in terms of showing the most connection between the original tune and the out improvisation.

another classic imo
thats a good album
still 'incredible jazz guitar' & 'live at birdland' are better than almost all of the records (of the ones ive heard) that have listed since

for the bulk of my jazz listening days 'ready for freddie' was out of print so i built it up in my mind as some kind of lost classic. finally found a japanese import, have to say I was kind of disappointed by how regular it was, great performances & everything but I think I was imagining something incredible

i'm curious about that Lou D. I've owned a couple of his over the years and never woulda thought he had a "masterpiece" in him....
― quaff the spud you warbling milkbag (outdoor_miner), Sunday, 28 August 2011 21:48 (twelve years ago) link
Plenty of the jazz guys had a 'masterpiece' in them, just that some had several and a few had a dozen (then there's miles & trane!)
― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Sunday, 28 August 2011 21:50 (twelve years ago) link
so some get overlooked. I'm really glad these albums are being introduced to people who have never heard them (including me) I'm also revisiting some stuff for the 1st time in ages.
So subscribe to the Spotify top 250 playlist that I created and enjoy!
