I guess having 100 slots on the ballot made it easier for people to vote for e.g. 20 Miles albums, though I can't actually remember how many people did this.

An accessible way in for people who don't like their jazz too outside but want to be able to say they like some Anthony Braxton, is part of it. Thing is, the heads are great and the playing's great, too.

I take that back -- I'm relistening now and Braxton and Rivers are not taking any prisoners.

im gonna be honest here, i think this is my fave alltime poll list on ilx ever,and i'm not saying it because sean & I are running it.It's because of you guys voting for some awesome albums. Might not always agree with the placings, but the actual records are mostly greatness , and I'm sure the ones i dont know will be good too.
And a LOT of awesome albums to come, but take it from me if you have just joined, there are lots of genuine must haves in the 250 (and even outside it as there's a good few albums I thought would be top 100)
― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Wednesday, 31 August 2011 18:50 (twelve years ago) link
lol this may be my favourite ilx poll i've never personally done (but then i did tv + hiphop and they are my favourite things so). that and the one where the space jam ost came #2

39 here, so that's pretty good considering jazz is very niche on ilm and the biggest posters are goons.

I would love it if the Timbaland turnout beats Led Zeppelin. One of the reasons I grabbed them was because I knew I wouldn't have to beat the bushes for participants.
― Halal Spaceboy (WmC), Wednesday, 31 August 2011 19:06 (twelve years ago) link
My favorite Braxton (out of his approximately 750,000 releases). tylerw, I started with this, and heard no other Braxton for years. No need to commit.

I must admit i'm surprised that we got over 15 votes as there didn't seem to be a lot of posts on the voting thread but in the end it turned out ok (had to badger shakey and wm a bit,but only cuz they forget)but it all turned out ok. The number of full ballots of 100 was exceptional. How many of those did we get seandalai?

I'll get that number later when I'm at home.

I know who Braxton is, but yeah I've never dug in. guess I should. took me awhile to get around to Ornette too.

yeah, braxton scores i've seen are wild. braxton interviews are wild, too. one thing i liked of braxton's was a more recent thing of standards? fairly straightforward/paul desmond-y with blasts of free type moments. i don't know, i assume i'll get into him sooner or later, but just haven't yet.
