In response to an earlier question, it looks like 8 voters maxed out their ballot and voted for 100 albums; there are a couple more people (maybe 4?) who had a list of 100 albums but included duplicates.

Poll is proving a great education. Favourite discovery so far is Grant Green's Idle Moments
― Number None, Thursday, 1 September 2011 01:32 (twelve years ago) link
Hell, favorite discovery for me is Grant Green, period. Only previously heard him on Jimmy Smith and Larry Young records.

I don't hate it! It's great. I just lean towards later Cecil Taylor more. Silent Tongues, One Too Many Salty Swift and Not Goodbye, Winged Serpent (Sliding Quadrants).

Kind of blue or a love supreme to win then? possibly karma or black saint and sinner lady? Highest fusion lp will be headhunters? All those top 10 anyway. Im betting birds of fire and hot rats to be top 20!! And more sun ra of course.

yeah it's good and well worth hearing but not quite the super session it appears to be

totally disagree w/ this
love supreme is like bottom hundred in quality imo, not even top 5 coltrane

ppl voting for vocal mantras smh
Artist count so far -Charles Mingus - 5Grant Green - 5Archie Shepp - 6Thelonious Monk - 6Herbie Hancock - 6Pharoah Sanders - 7Sun Ra - 10John Coltrane - 15 (plus on other albums)Miles Davis - 21
I've nothing against Miles, but this is kinda ridiculous; it seems pretty much every one of his 50s, 60s, and 70s albums will place in the poll. Can't imagine any other major genre where one artist would eclipse all the others so strongly... Whenever I go to the jazz shelf in a general record store (i.e. one that doesn't specialize in jazz), it looks like half the records on the shelf are various Miles reissues and compilations.
― Tuomas, Thursday, 1 September 2011 06:29 (twelve years ago) link
Oh come on, the vocal mantra lasts for maybe a minute, and it's hardly the thing that makes the album great. Sure, A Love Supreme has unnecessarily eclipsed all the other great Coltrane albums, but that happens to a lot of artists (it's the same with Kind of Blue for Miles, Ah Um for Mingus, Time Out for Dave Brubeck, etc). On the other hand, with artists like Coltrane who have such a large and sprawling discography, it might be good a thing there is a canonical album for newbies to start with, especially since it's a great album that exemplifies well what was great about Coltrane. With artists like Sun Ra who've released dozens of albums but none of them is the canonical one, the newbie might be kinda lost at where to start. (This is certainly one reasons I've never really delved into his music.)

One of Ellington's best, surely on the same level as his 40s recordings.

ha yeah -- i think the early donald byrd blue notes i've heard haven't knocked me out. solid, obviously, but maybe not as strong as, say, lee morgan's stuff from the same period.

― Garu G Presents Nan Cat (Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker), Thursday, 1 September 2011 15:18 (twelve years ago) link
lee morgan ruled blue note in the early 60s
Certainly came up with a big hit for them.

mingus's last great record, probably -- there are some good tunes on the albums that follow, but none of those 70s records are masterpieces. this one seems like a fully formed statement, everything perfectly put together.

I am listening to "Let My Children Hear Music" now it is really fantastic, I don't know why i never really got into it before. I guess when i started really investigating Mingus a couple of years ago it was more orchestral than what i was looking for with him. I was very wrong..
