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

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.

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

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.

damn forgot to tag the pic, can a mod fix that please?

YAY. Not her best album, but worth it for 'Om Supreme' alone. That song is so unlike anything else she ever did and it's just so perfectly 70s.
