Vocal jazz is always overlooked in lists like that. Nina Simone showing up doesn't surprise me but I was a little shocked to see Sarah Vaughn make the list (much as I love that album.) That Sarah Vaughn album is killer but I slightly prefer Clifford Brown's album with Helen Merrill. It's probably down to the fact that vocal jazz is more about ~great songs~ than the album qua album. Is this an insightful comment? I don't even know what up looks like anymore.

didn't vote, that whole process of nominating then voting isn't my thing. but i'm glad others do! and i don't really have beef w/the list, just think these people deserve some love, respect, and/or attention.

i think 'dinah jams' is a crazy great record & also includes clifford brown -- ive got you under my skin version is amazing (max roach + brown, maynard furgeson & clark terry in a trumpet battle!!)

Clifford Brown is serious. That whole Mosaic box is killer and it's a mind-boggling "what if?" to think about him living past the age of 25.
― gutta gutta island (s. morris), Friday, 2 September 2011 20:39 (twelve years ago) link
other artists that didnt make the list that have been on my mind ... woody shaw, jon faddis (of course im naming trumpet players), abdullah ibrahim ... stan kenton was another good one GD mentioned

yeah clifford brown could still be alive today, which is nuts. he was apparently a clean living kind of guy. no idea what musical route he would've taken though.

sidebar: my uncle's father-in-law is a Stan Kenton devotee to this day, is super enthusiastic about jazz even in his 80s, still goes out to see live jazz regularly. is always like "oh this record is AWESOME here TAKE IT! i've listened to it 100 times, got it memorized, OH if you like that then you GOTTA hear THIS" *scurries away to go pluck out another gem. his knowledge stops at like 1958 but so cool to talk to him about the music he's passionate about
― A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Friday, 2 September 2011 20:47 (twelve years ago) link
Shape of Jazz to Come (and most of the other Atlantic recordings) are among my all time favorites, so I'm ok with 5th place
― Moodles, Friday, 2 September 2011 20:48 (twelve years ago) link
No Julius Hemphill, no Gene Ammons, no Bill Dixon, no Tony Oxley, no Lennie Tristano :(
― The Not Liking Radiohead Awards (Turangalila), Friday, 2 September 2011 20:48 (twelve years ago) link
Pharoah Sanders on the other hand, as much as I love him, is probably too high on this list.
Hey, I'm still holding out for Dixon's Intents & Purposes placing in the top 4!

Dogon A.D. is definitely an oversight.
― gutta gutta island (s. morris), Friday, 2 September 2011 20:51 (twelve years ago) link
no Gene Ammons,
was wondering about this myself
this top 10 ordering is pretty bonkers imho
― I can feel it in my spiritual hat (Shakey Mo Collier), Friday, 2 September 2011 20:51 (twelve years ago) link
i voted for shape of jazz -- if i'm gona vote for one ornette, it's gonna be that one.
― tylerw, Friday, 2 September 2011 20:53 (twelve years ago) link
I'm more of a Coon Bid'ness guy, but any Hemphill would have been welcome.
― The Not Liking Radiohead Awards (Turangalila), Friday, 2 September 2011 20:53 (twelve years ago) link
i like gene ammons but sadly lots of things are gonna miss out in a poll. but maybe if some more of you guys complaining voted it would be different

can we post our ballots yet?

the jazz contingent on ilm is tiny. half of the jazz d-bags posters didn't vote/nominate so im amazed and well chuffed we got 39 voters (thanks to you all). But we got a great list of 250 awesome records and full results will be posted at the end so you can still check out some great albums that missed the top 250

― D-40, Friday, 2 September 2011 20:59 (twelve years ago) link
hah, no william. Do you guys want a separate post yr ballots thread? if so i'll start one when it's time
― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Friday, 2 September 2011 20:59 (twelve years ago) link
deej do you think this is really a bad list??
no. the backpatting abt how good it was seemed a bit silly tho
― D-40, Friday, 2 September 2011 21:00 (twelve years ago) link
well it has a 250 of great albums. That people will check out if they haven't already I'd consider that good.

kind of prefer other dolphy albums to it, though. it's fab, but i reach for the five spot albums more.

Of all the places to complain about the obscurity impulses of ILX you're really going to take this thread up as your cause, deej? You're posting on a message board that was spawned from a Belle & Sebastian listserv.

I mean of all the polls ILX has done in the 8 years I've been lurking this is the first one where I was like "yeah, that's cool."
tylerw, totally. Vol I of Live at the Five Spot is :O
― The Not Liking Radiohead Awards (Turangalila), Friday, 2 September 2011 21:09 (twelve years ago) link
Love that Dolphy record so much. As much as I dig his other records, the closest thing I can think of that approaches it in terms of arrangements/compositional sensibility is Tony Williams' hella underrated Spring and Life Time.
