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

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.

seandalai is still stunned with Lanquidity placing so low
lanquidity is awesome but "this is how i feel" is like a thousand times awesome
― D-40, Monday, 29 August 2011 00:24 (twelve years ago) link
xp - Really surprised Lanquidity wasn't at least 100 places higher - I was under the impression that it was the "crossover" Ra album, certainly the one I'd play to a first-time listener.

honestly i think his 'greatest hits for intergalactic travel' comp is one of the few jazz comps that is a better introduction to an artist than any particular albunm
― D-40, Monday, 29 August 2011 00:25 (twelve years ago) link
at least in terms of giving an idea of an artist's breadth
