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

― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Sunday, 28 August 2011 20:59 (twelve years ago) link
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!

both those jackie mclean albums are unfuckwithbale, tho i might've expected to see let freedom ring place a little higher
wondering if i'm the only person who rates freddie hubbard's early CTI albums above his blue notes? we shall see
kinda weird that voters like hammond organ jazz AND "out" stuff so much, but hey unpredictability is good
i own that hassell/eno album on vinyl and have always dug but never associated it with jazz
anyway culling some excellent recommendations from this - keep em coming
― excuse me you're a helluva guy (m coleman), Sunday, 28 August 2011 23:36 (twelve years ago) link
not only does that sum ILM up, but me too. i got into 60s coltrane then blue note 60s avant bop stuff then fusion/electric/rock came naturally as i loved funk and i went into free jazz then i worked my way back devouring everything i could find from about 1950-75. I really do need to go back further, hoping this poll will clue me in on new stuff, then the pre45 tracks poll ez snappin suggested in the nominations thread might happen and i'll find good stuff in that.

ok next one up actually has a #1 vote. And it's a good album.
