really good record,another one I had to cull from my list

ok that looks like a record i need in my life

if i wasnt about to get picked up to see planet of the apes, i'd totally be pumping my speakers up

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)

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

how many ballots did the alltime hiphop poll get?

Conference of the Birds is awesome. Title track is unfuckwithable.

about 60 singles, 40 albums iirc?

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

noone can beat pavement or led zep though. Maybe timbaland will?

I need to hear Conference of the Birds. Sounds like something I'd like.

braxton is one of those dudes i should be getting into, but he seems like a *committment*
some day.

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.

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.

oh shit, i forgot to vote for conference of the birds. might even have nommed it too.

Getting into Braxton is hard work, but rewarding.

i only have a few braxton but they are great

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.

^^^ Love this album, especially the title track and "Portrait of Linda in Three Colors, All Black".

yeah, it's great -- love "blind willie" too. barely think of this as a "jazz" album tbh.

portrait of linda is my favorite song of all time

For me it sits squarely in the Ayleresque line of ecstatic jazz.

I didn't forget shit, I generally schedule my errands around something other than your barked commands, doggie.

I think all the Braxton I have is solo, so I am interested in hearing what he does in a group.

crazy pictorial scores iirc

Ok maybe not that crazy, but still...

haha okay wtf is that

i thought you were a muso shakey?

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.

This one is cool:

Oh, Braxton on standards and other folks' compositions is sublime. Check out 8 (+3) Tristano Compositions, beautiful.

i thought you were a muso shakey?

I know a little (very tiny) bit, but I have no idea how one is supposed to interpret those scores. I mean they LOOK cool, I just don't know what half the symbols/notations are supposed to represent

That score kind of reminds me of this: http://blogfiles.wfmu.org/KF/2011/08/24/nsfw_notation.gif

^ talking of musos ;)

On a (slightly) more serious note, I do love those scores. See also Cardew's 'Treatise' (not jazz).

Shakey, I bet geir could understand them.

I hate how it says it's in Db but it has a key signature of F.

But then I'm a rotter who identifies with teh formalists, so I would love 'em.

xposts to myself

having never played an instrument or anything those scores look like funny squiggles to me

treatise is a different beast tho. braxton is still at least somewhat grounded in traditional notation

emil.y loves nepotism
xps
