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

thats a great record but i havent heard it in a long time

Root Strata was my #5, great album with a clear avant influence but still really soulful and expressive.

Guitar is among my all-time favourite albums. It's really special.

I was never able to really get into Babi but I'll try again.

Awfuckenright! Blacknuss is a great ablum

Hyped at #232 placement

Like, I get that it's obviously intense etc but I just haven't personally really clicked with it yet.

I really loved Ballads, when I listened to a lot of outside improv music and didn't listen much at all to standards. Now that the proportions have shifted a little, I wonder how I'd respond to it. Weirdly, it seems to be one of the CDs I packed for storage even though I could swear I intended to bring it with me to my new place. I'll try to download a copy.

Need to hear Guitar again. Owned it way back but was way too much of an indie schmoo to give it a proper go.

Always meant to check Milford Graves out, shame it's not on Spotify.

I can't recommend Babi enough. If there is a single, definitive "energy music" record, it's this one.

I dl'ed this on your recommendation a while back, and it is, indeed, "all that" ... also, I totally do not pay attention to deadlines for ballot polls

yeah not too familiar with it myself. Definitely heard it though, my mate has that cd. I love the cover.

Looking at the names on that cover, this is another one for further investigation.

^ Indeed. Definitely will check out that one.

next one seems a bit appropriate!

LOVE that grant green album. the title track is one of my favorite standards, frank sinatra's vocal version kills.

expecting to see more bobby hutcherson - san francisco is only the tip of the iceberg
