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

deej do you think this is really a bad list??

no. the backpatting abt how good it was seemed a bit silly tho

well it has a 250 of great albums. That people will check out if they haven't already I'd consider that good.

Beautiful album.

Poll #4 = my #4

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

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.

nice

hope no-one is going to shout too high

well i wouldn't shout in the office w/all these people around, no

Good to see Tommy Flanagan make it

I wish Beyond the Bluebird had made it.

Well, if I'd voted -- and I wouldn't have, because I don't feel qualified -- 5, 4, and 3 would all have been on my ballot. I still think "Shape of Jazz" is extraordinary. Yeah, historical significance and all, but if you just gave it to me on a cassette marked "Awesome Music" I think it would still be pretty mind-blowing.

given all the complaining about ALS upthread that it got beat by Blue Train, Ascension, and Giant Steps - modal, free, and bebop beating the spiritual hats lol

tipsy otm

Blue Train, Ascension, and Giant Steps
goes to show that coltrane has a pretty deep catalog -- i didn't vote for any of these.

Want #2 on it's own or #2 & #1 together?

beyond parody

iirc im talkin about jazz youre the one bringing up dicks & vajajays

vajayjazz

guys go put on some grant green and ~vibe

lol

be sure to use spiritual jimmy hats

You're not even talking about jazz is the problem. You're talking about how you have a bigger jazz dick than any of the voters and implying only you have some private knowledge as to what constitutes Real Jazz. I had never understood why literally everyone on ILX hated you, but it's clear that it's because you claim expertise on everything and everyone and would like to think your opinions have more actual value than they do.

hahaha he hasn't really said anything for a while

this is not at all what ive done but u need to get off my (ready?) dick

because you were railing against the poll pointlessly, and because u treated ALS as a terrible record, and backed yourself up by referencing non-existent literature. nobody rode for ALS as better than blue train or giant steps iirc.

because u treated ALS as a terrible record

he didn't say this tho

This is actually kind exciting... I know what one of the top two albums will be, but not the another one. I guess they can't both be Miles albums, all the other canonical one have already placed, right?

i never treated als as a terrible record, i said it was overrated by outsiders & that w/in the canon its treated as one of several great records, rarely considered his finest moment, and there is 'existing literature' its just not linked on the wikipedia page that you were referencing

i was arguin w/ people in the thread who specifically said that no, ALS was the best one & that was a universally agreed upon position. obv this wasnt something all 39 ppl agreed with but the ppl arguing w/ me did

read the thread

Yah I'm at a loss as to what the other album would be!

Also, I don't get why this countdown needed to be Deej Against the World, but whatever. At least the debate got a handful of interesting comments out of people.

mingus?
