And should we do singles for the hell of it? Maybe we shouldn't even vote on them, but everyone can pick 1 single with their vote?

Nice. I'm sure there's a thread, but what Threadgill should I start with?

And possibly in education?
I know for sure that someone else on ILX went to school at UW and some of Richard Davis's classes.

Tony Williams, Young at Heart
Tony Williams, Story of Neptune (goddamnit why is this not in print?)
Billy Drummond, Dubai (the title track is probably my singles pick!)
John Scofield, A Go Go (MMW gets a bad rap)
Steve Coleman, The Sign and the Seal (Transmissions of the Metaphysics of a blah blah blah) - worth it for the Yoruban folkoric beats and chants rather than for the M-base musicians and their awful rappers.
Mel Rhyne - Mel's Spell (one of my favorite organ trio records possibly ever)

Another FANTASTIC album that popped in my head, nominate pls: Matt Wilson's As Wave Follows Wave (w/Dewey Redman, Cecil McBee, and Larry Goldings). Which also brings to mind Larry Goldings' Whatever It Takes (Peter Bernstein, Bill Stewart, Joshua Redman, Maceo Parker)!

I've never heard a Henry Threadgill record, apparently now's the time.

Yeah, Haikumyn is correkt, I'm not from Madison ... in fact, I'll be honest, I have only been to Wisonson thrice! Once to see Guns N Roses on the very first show of the Use Your Illusion tour! (think it was about a week b4 the albums were out; Skid Row opening, Alpine Valley, 1991), once to see my roommates band open up for the Thinking Fellers in Madison in like 1995, and also once to see Bailter Space in Milwaukee in 199 like 7 or 8, I think.. had an absolute blast each and every time!
I've also always been a big Brewer fan -- they're basically my NL team -- even B4 the trade for Carlos Lee, but since he was my fave White Sox player that just increased my Brew-crew fandom.
As far as Richard Davis goes .. just always been a fan of his bass playing ... and that Live at Sweet Basil thing on Evidence was on heavy, heavy rotation at my college radio station in the mid-90s. It just brings back fond memories. I used to hear the thing all the time. And I loved it. And that guy Ricky Ford is a really outstanding player. So I just wanted to give some props to some overlooked records and some personal faves...

And Southern Lights, yeah, you have to see Threadgill! It's amazing to watch his groups live. Bunch of folks you've frankly never heard of before, performing this exacting music brilliantly. He's a great bandleader and an inspiring guy. Too Much Sugar is definitely my 90s pick up there with Ask the Ages. For once, I'm GLAD to see consensus and overriding CANON emerging, I really am. Becuz those two guys are great and deserving. and Ornette's Tone Dialing needs to be given a second thought by everyone i think....
MEDESKI MARTIN AND WOOD - FRIDAY AFTERNOON IN THE UNIVERSE
yo Nick I totally had this in my mental short list but forget to put it down, but yeah, I totally dig this record! Really the only MMW record I know, but i do think it has a great charm. Glad you mentioned it!
