JAZZ IS LIKE HEROIN TO ME ! ! ! ~~~~ ILM POST-1945 JAZZ ALBUMS POLL - THE RESULTS COUNTDOWN (now counting top 25!)

d) sorry i hate jazz guitar (should try again) so wes/grant's placements are partially my fault

If you haven't heard Sharrock's Guitar, let me recommend it with his quote in mind: "I consider myself a saxophonist with a very fucked-up axe."

Ha. Just put that on. I also like the regular, boring jazz guitar that mookieproof and hurting hate, but otherwise mookieproof otm.

tbf to deej he's not bitching, he knows what polls are like. but i dont blame him for being baffled at the low placement of the trane album.
but it's an ILM poll, you know these things happen!

Also i think 1 or 2 did vote for (nearly) all the miles or trane albums.

haha yes i have heard a bit of sharrock which seemed like not at all the same thing! but yeah

Anyone want to predict the top 10/20? Then we can compare the guesses when the poll is done and see who was closest.

As somebody already said, Kind of Blue is a strong favorite for number one

In the top 10 (or at least top 20): Love Supreme, Kind of Blue, Silent Way, Black Saint, Evans @ Village Vanguard, Brilliant Corners, Shape of Jazz to Come, Out to Lunch. Maybe Spiritual Unity? Anyway, I expect like most polls it'll get less interesting near the top. Already d/l'd that Clifford Brown from emusic, I can tell this list is going to give me a lot to dig into.

(So as someone who didn't vote, thanks to those who did.)

*bookmarks thread*

I love jazz so much and occasionally feel terrible for not listening to it that much anymore

didn't vote obv, but KoB is one of the few instrumental records out there that I can sing along to. every lick has been etched. thanks, high school band nerdery

Have ended up embracing the fool's errand white elephant nature of this poll and think ILX- centric voting can only help. I like jazz and that is the kind of music I go to see most often live but, for good or for bad, I never really listened to it, um, systematically, the way I did rock music way back in the day, when I spent an entire weekend listening to every minute I could of The Beatles A-Z on WNEW-FM or would read something like Stranded over and over and try to seek out every single record in there. As somebody already pointed out, it is relatively easy to have listened to the entire recorded output of one or many of the big sixties rock bands and have an opinion, whereas with jazz the career of even Miles Davis is hard to enough to keep track of, let alone, say, Duke Ellington or all the other hundreds of important musicians, so an ILX poll is as good as any angle to try to approach it.

I don't expect 20 trane records, just that particular one to do better than it did

Really good album this, nice to see it place.

Great poll, there's already more than ten albums I need to check out for the first time. Can't believe I slept on that Dolphy album. I'm thinking this early part is the most interesting because later we'll get to the more widely known/canon stuff.

Never heard that one no mult xps

The bobbi humphrey stuff is what I was wondering about earlier re fusion

I'm thinking this early part is the most interesting because later we'll get to the more widely known/canon stuff.

Fastnbulbous,that is exactly why i go for big rollouts, thanks! But the other end of the poll is great too!

Always thought of this as ILM's fave Ayler

Jobim's Stone Flower is wonderful, If you dont know it check it out, Probably my favorite bossanova album. its CTI, so there is definitely a 70s smoothness factor in the arrangements, but it is an excellent collection of tunes. with some really suprising arrangements/ production choices too.
