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

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

^ is this in yr book?

Hot Rollins on Rollins action.

I'm a little surprised that Rollins didn't pick any Cecil.

Hank on Hank

haha

I had a list of over a dozen top 100 entries I didn't have and Amoeba surprisingly had only a couple of them. I got lucky at Rasputin in Berkeley though, and listened to some of these while driving to wine country and then today in Santa Cruz, but not whole albums as my friends aren't big jazz fans.

17 Sonny Clark - Cool Struttin'
23 Jackie McLean - Destination Out
28 Joe Henderson - Page One
31 Lee Morgan - Search For The New Land
34 Andrew Hill - Point of Departure
53 Thelonious Monk - Straight No Chaser
60 Hank Mobley - Straight No Filter
68 Lonnie Liston Smith and the Cosmic Echoes - Astral Traveling

all awesome albums, think you will enjoy them all.

a lot of canonical jazz stuff is hard to find physical copies of - at least ime

You guys need to buy from amazon or get a Fopp like chain. (Tho Fopp is shit now for Jazz cds, 10 years ago it was awesome. Rows and rows of jazz cds under a fiver. )

www.dustygroove.com is a good place for cheapish jazz CDs (and some pricey LPs if that's your thing).

my store!
also jazz record mart http://jazzmart.com/

(not mine as in i own it or work there, just that i like to go there)

you own it and are loaded, admit it!

how cheap is amazon.com compared to amazon.co.uk ?

pretty cheap if you order from 3rd party sellers. I've recently bought these new:
Page One $2.85
Mwandishi $5
Brilliant Corners and Monk's Dream $7 each

(wasn't familiar with Page One, the rest I was but want hard copies)

oh man you got a bargain for page one.

just got a £3.75 refund from paypal for a coltrane cd i bought on ebay, but no email or anything from ebay. but i assume it's not a mistake or cancelled,but i dont want to buy it off another seller until i have proper confirmation.

speaking of jazz dealzz http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004LR5JZO
i just ordered this, the complete miles/coltrane columbia box for $20.
i have most of it already (don't have jazz at the plaza), but i am a sucker!

i ordered another cd from the same seller at the same time so i hope that doesn't get cancelled too

tyler did you get your free mp3 too? :)

i did, yes. just suckering me into buying more things ...

i dont think i've ever had a free mp3 from amazon. Anyone ever got that from amazon uk?

I've been buying a bunch of stuff cos of this thread too, mostly whatever Blue Note stuff that I hadn't heard that I can pick-up cheaply. Enjoyed Page One a lot on the one listen so far, mostly for some of the lovely purplish hues that McCoy's playing brings to the music. Which was a nice surprise anyhow cos he's not given a credit on the front cover (sleeve notes say 'contractual reasons').

i really need to read sleevenotes more often, haha

Just picked up vol. 4 of the Coltrane impulse reissues. All I can do is look at it - the movers took away all my cd playing devices this morning. It'll just be staring at me for weeks, taunting and mocking me.

Jazz album covers circa 1955-1965 so much cooler than pop/rock albums covers of that era

poll?

today i received my john coltrane Blue Train cd which has a bonus cd of 2 other albums 'dakar' and 'traineing in' which I got for £3.19 ppd (and its brand new and sealed not 2nd hand) on ebay .
Are those 2 extra albums any cop? i think its a bit of a bargain.

Just picked up vol. 4 of the Coltrane impulse reissues.
definitely want to get the rest of these (just have the first two). why are the new ones so much $$$? first two were a bit of a steal.

New ones are Hip-O Select. I'm guessing they're printing way fewer because these are primarily the "way out" stuff, and thus are charging through the teeth. Vol. 5 has Live in Japan, which is part of its price bump over and above Vol. 4.

curses!

But you said you haven't bought Vol. 3 yet. That one's cheap! And packed with awesome!

not so cheap over here

i wonder if the jazz listening club impacted on the results here. Maybe it was a success after all. Dunno if it would be worth starting up again however.

obv not :)

Coltrane on Impulse vol 4 does look great:

Expression
Live at the Village Vanguard Again!
Om
Cosmic Music (with Alice Coltrane)
Selflessness featuring My Favorite Things

Already have Expression and I've got LATVVA on vinyl, but haven't heard any of those last three. All pretty hard to come by on CD I should imagine. Any idea what'll be on 5?

I just got Money Jungle in the mail, so far I'm liking it a lot. I love how minimalist and punctuated by empty spaces Ellington's playing is. (Though I do wonder if it was merely an aesthetic choice, or whether his advanced age forced him to play that way, not being able to play that fast anymore?) Also, Roach's showcase tune ("A Little Max") is hella groovy, good thing they found it in the Blue Note vaults, since it wasn't on the original album. I love it when bebop drummers who were mostly delegated to cymbal tapping get to show off like that.

if i had lots of money i would certainly have bought those impulse sets. As i said on the FOPP thread, i wish they were still good for jazz like they used to be. Terrible now.
But since a bunch of classic Blue Note is £3.99 on amazon it's not so bad. Got a big list bookmarked and ready to buy from once i can afford more.

I may have said this on other jazz threads, but my almost purely classical-loving dad was really into money jungle when I played it for him.

Coltrane on Impulse Vol. 5:

Live In Seattle
Sun Ship
Transition
Infinity
Coltrane In Japan
