one of my fave ever herbie anecdotes is from an old wire article on the mwandishi years where patrick gleeson was talking about trying to mix synths/keyboards into the band's sound for the first time and how he kept getting the mean mug from buster williams all night until someone finally took him aside and said "no one plays LOWER than buster in this band."

xp I remember that Wire article - bought Sextant off the back of that, iirc the 2nd jazz album I owned.

impressed how high that finished, henderson usually gets underrated!

D-40, Thursday, 1 September 2011 23:12 (fourteen years ago)

page one must have been one of the first 60s blue notes i bought

Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Thursday, 1 September 2011 23:13 (fourteen years ago)

page one was #7 in my ballot

Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Thursday, 1 September 2011 23:17 (fourteen years ago)

not familiar with it, audio samples sound intriguing, so I ordered it for $3.

Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Thursday, 1 September 2011 23:23 (fourteen years ago)

Indeed, I did vote Miles.

shake it, shake it, sugary pee (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Thursday, 1 September 2011 23:28 (fourteen years ago)

haha a helluva lot did

Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Thursday, 1 September 2011 23:29 (fourteen years ago)

this might have been my #1, I can't remember

I can feel it in my spiritual hat (Shakey Mo Collier), Thursday, 1 September 2011 23:29 (fourteen years ago)

yes, it was

dubplates and monster munch (seandalai), Thursday, 1 September 2011 23:29 (fourteen years ago)

like OTC but glad it didn't place higher

A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Thursday, 1 September 2011 23:29 (fourteen years ago)

it was

xps

Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Thursday, 1 September 2011 23:30 (fourteen years ago)

never one of my favorite miles records

D-40, Thursday, 1 September 2011 23:30 (fourteen years ago)

I actually assumed it would be in the top 10.

shake it, shake it, sugary pee (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Thursday, 1 September 2011 23:30 (fourteen years ago)

yah a lil surprised it wasnt higher

D-40, Thursday, 1 September 2011 23:31 (fourteen years ago)

me too. but I did say that a lot of albums didn't place as high as i thought would, and some didn't at all. Yet others were astonishingly high.
welcome to an ilm poll!

Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Thursday, 1 September 2011 23:32 (fourteen years ago)

im guessing headhunters didnt make :O

D-40, Thursday, 1 September 2011 23:33 (fourteen years ago)

I thought about voting in this poll but I would of put all my points in Cosmic Tones For Mental Therapy and voted for nothing else

that's cute, but it's WRONG (CaptainLorax), Thursday, 1 September 2011 23:36 (fourteen years ago)

I don't know if I would of been allowed to have only a single vote so I went away

that's cute, but it's WRONG (CaptainLorax), Thursday, 1 September 2011 23:36 (fourteen years ago)

I'd happily acknowledge that Miles made records as strong if not better than OTC but that's just the one that had the biggest impact on me and has the most sentimental value. I came across it at a time when my listening habits were really expanding and it intersected with a bunch of other things (McLaughlin copping the riff from Funkadelic's "Super Stupid" for ex). Most importantly, I've never grown tired of it.

I can feel it in my spiritual hat (Shakey Mo Collier), Thursday, 1 September 2011 23:37 (fourteen years ago)

what can I say I just wanted it to place highly!

I can feel it in my spiritual hat (Shakey Mo Collier), Thursday, 1 September 2011 23:38 (fourteen years ago)

oddly, maybe having my one single vote in this poll would of made the results more diverse

that's cute, but it's WRONG (CaptainLorax), Thursday, 1 September 2011 23:39 (fourteen years ago)

this is a pretty diverse list and Sun Ra is already well represented tho

I can feel it in my spiritual hat (Shakey Mo Collier), Thursday, 1 September 2011 23:40 (fourteen years ago)

A single #1 would have boosted Cosmic Tones from #105 to #73. Truly a missed opportunity!

dubplates and monster munch (seandalai), Thursday, 1 September 2011 23:41 (fourteen years ago)

last thing we needed was more sun ra!

Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Thursday, 1 September 2011 23:41 (fourteen years ago)

or do we?

Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Thursday, 1 September 2011 23:41 (fourteen years ago)

I just can't understand why Cosmic Tones would hit #105
I feel like if you put a bunch of jazzheads together you are gonna cut out the fringe listeners

that's cute, but it's WRONG (CaptainLorax), Thursday, 1 September 2011 23:42 (fourteen years ago)

pete townshend voted for 100 of them

Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Thursday, 1 September 2011 23:42 (fourteen years ago)

its kinda funny that people are saying sun ra placed so low

Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Thursday, 1 September 2011 23:42 (fourteen years ago)

fringe listeners have diametrically different opinions than a jazz hivemind

that's cute, but it's WRONG (CaptainLorax), Thursday, 1 September 2011 23:43 (fourteen years ago)

he suffered vote splitting im sure

if having nearly as many records as miles & trane counts as s'suffering'

D-40, Thursday, 1 September 2011 23:43 (fourteen years ago)

I'm assuming one or two other Ra albums will still show up...? maybe that's being optimistic

I can feel it in my spiritual hat (Shakey Mo Collier), Thursday, 1 September 2011 23:44 (fourteen years ago)

jazz hivemind did 9/11

I can feel it in my spiritual hat (Shakey Mo Collier), Thursday, 1 September 2011 23:44 (fourteen years ago)

miles and trane outscored him so far though i lost count

Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Thursday, 1 September 2011 23:44 (fourteen years ago)

Cosmic Tones certainly deserved to be higher. Search For The New Land is my favorite out of these last ones.

The Not Liking Radiohead Awards (Turangalila), Thursday, 1 September 2011 23:45 (fourteen years ago)

no Sun Ra album is better than Cosmic Tones

that's cute, but it's WRONG (CaptainLorax), Thursday, 1 September 2011 23:45 (fourteen years ago)

really?

Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Thursday, 1 September 2011 23:46 (fourteen years ago)

easily really

that's cute, but it's WRONG (CaptainLorax), Thursday, 1 September 2011 23:47 (fourteen years ago)

I'd be inclined to agree.

The Not Liking Radiohead Awards (Turangalila), Thursday, 1 September 2011 23:47 (fourteen years ago)

lorax why would anyone only want to vote for one album? we didn't get less than a 10 vote ballot. Which is the way it should be. We got a good few full 100 ballots as well as mine.

Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Thursday, 1 September 2011 23:48 (fourteen years ago)

its better than heliocentric worlds of?

Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Thursday, 1 September 2011 23:48 (fourteen years ago)

or nothing is?

Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Thursday, 1 September 2011 23:49 (fourteen years ago)

Totally. Black Myth/Out In Space a close second maybe. For me, anyway.

The Not Liking Radiohead Awards (Turangalila), Thursday, 1 September 2011 23:49 (fourteen years ago)

Just had to announce my #1 is all
Please go on

I own heliocentric worlds 1 and 2 and yes it is better

that's cute, but it's WRONG (CaptainLorax), Thursday, 1 September 2011 23:49 (fourteen years ago)

I personally prefer The Magic City, but I could go either way. I definitely don't think there is a single Sun Ra record that stands head-and-tinfoil-covered-shoulders above the rest, though.

shake it, shake it, sugary pee (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Thursday, 1 September 2011 23:50 (fourteen years ago)

lorax how about -
