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

are they on a soundtrack album by someone?

ahh blow-up soundtrack

one of the herbie's ive not heard. is it any cop?

sam never did come back to this thread did he? :(

Deej - as someone who just generally observes this shit, i'd like to say that i wish you would vote in more of these polls

never have checked out alice coltrane before. am diggin this mystical ~journey atm

:D

Which one are you listening to? "Journey in Satchidananda"?

Didn’t vote in this because, sadly, I didn’t have the time (a hundred albums? Takes time, you know), and I do feel a bit rueful about not voting, especially seeing Escalator just missing the 250 cut, but I have thoroughly enjoyed the countdown, the hilarious chat and in particular the repositioning of Grant Green at the centre of jazz history.

Given that, due to the voting demographic, the list was inevitably almost all-American, I wonder whether there’s a case for doing a “Rest of the World” poll, getting in everyone from Lars Gullin to the Necks.

Anyone who has the blue note covers book how is it?

annoyed real mccoy never made it but otoh great poll! ty sean and kerr. it has already made me buy 2 records and 1 book and make a large grunting noise at how shit my local hmv jazz section is. i'm sure over the coming months i'll be coming back here for buying recommendations.

new favorite jam thanks to this poll: Donald Byrd's Cristo Redentor. Been meaning to check out that album for awhile so i guess it was inevitable. Also a new fan of Electric Byrd and some Mingus stuff, so thanks dudes.

also need to see what Archie Schepp is all about. Major blind spot.

oh and kinda surprised not a single vote for Fat Albert Rotunda.

uh Shepp xp

yeah please do check out Archie Shepp

marcello do you approve of any high placings or discover anything you haven't heard? Glad you enjoyed the poll. Wish you had voted.

is cosmo marcello? wow i am behind in figuring out new usernames.

Marcello posted before Cosmo, that's what Kerr is referring to.

oh, lol bookmarks

hah

i want my bluenote book. home delivery network are delivering it and some of my cds. hope this free amazon prime trial is worth it!

one of the herbie's ive not heard. is it any cop?

I liked it more than I thought I would. I'm not a huge fan of Hancock as leader, but I liked this and was very surprised how much I liked Mwandishi.

i love herbie as a leader but the blow-up soundtrack ive never bothered to check out. How does it compare to his other albums of the 60s?

Which one are you listening to? "Journey in Satchidananda"?

yep. 'Universal Consciousness' is too manic for me (apart from "Sita Ram")

this poll has really reawakened my jazz love, which has been dormant for 10 years or so. have hardly listened to any, and stopped searching out for new discoveries. the spotify list is awesome to do exactly that, ty!

got Straight, No Chaser from the library- everything else they had was just comps and katie melua boo.

Granny Dainger, you should really give Ptah, the El Daoud a go if you dug Journey.

are there harps?!!?? i would so have a harp if it wasn't so bulky.

Yes. :D

I would gladly embrace a harp in my life. Have always wanted to start a gay harp punk band.

Blue Note book and 5 cds came just now. woohoo

Sam have a look on amazon, there's tons of albums from this list £5 or under. I bought a bunch of cd's for £3.99 each.

Blue Note cd's under £5 ignore the norah jones etc though obviously

i will, in good time

haha the first few pages have used the word 'hipster' 3 times already and 'preppy' and 'ivy league' in the blue note book. I think this answers shakey's question from earlier

it's weird how many covers have the artists smoking ciggies on them. Never really noticed it until now.

thank you Armand for doing this, beautiful list. great work everyone.

I hoped Dancing In Your Head would get more support. And I always thought Genius of Modern Music is the greatest Monk album(s). Did it lose points for being a compilation (is it?) or do you guys simply don't think it's as essential as Hot Fives and Hot Sevens?

cheers, glad you enjoyed it, but please don't forget seandalai did the hard work.

right. seems like seandalai is what makes ilm going. great job

he did a great job

amazon only have one of the blue note covers books left in stock. If you want one order now.
Still waiting on the rest of my order arriving.

lol we sold it out?

So far this poll has resulted in me buying...

Criss-Cross
Milestones
Attica Blues
Brown Rice
Coltrane Live at Birdland
Natural Black Inventions: Root Strata
Destination Out

...plus an Impulse! t-shirt. I'd forgotten just how cheap jazz CDs could be, clearly.

Attica Blues is such a bizarre record, even for Shepp

'milestones' is underrated in the miles canon imo

ive bookmarked another dozen cds on amazon at £3.99 . hope they dont sell out before i can afford them next month. I'm sure they said there was 9 bluenote books left when i ordered so did you all order it? We must really have a crazy amount of lurkers. play.com are now sold out too it says.

i mean, mildly -- obv a lot of people think its classic

Yeah Attica Blues was the only one of my purchases I'd already heard (I voted for it too), I just realised I could really do with owning a copy (xp).

the blazing funk-pop opening track, the narrations from William Kunstler, some strings + warbling, oh look here's a little kid singing

xp

did we ever determine who appeared on the most placing albums without placing an album of their own...? (Ron Carter?)

gavin, thats the same with all the cd's i bought. I needed to finally own them
