When I first started collecting jazz in the early 90s, I picked up a used copy of Len Lyons' The 101 Best Jazz Albums (1980) as a reference. I knew it was just scratching the surface, but even after 20 years, several hundred albums and many other references, I had still not encountered some of the artists that are popular here, like Grant Green, Bobby Hutcherson and Big John Patton. This is a great way to discover new stuff -- I think my top 100 will be transformed after this poll is completed. I leave for vacation Wed, and will be packing a lot of jazz on my player, and plenty to look forward to catching up on the next week!

What the fuck is that cover?

I'm sure I've seen that with a normal tasteful Impulse cover.

Maybe not, sorry. Maybe that's just Meditations.

That picture doesn't even look like Trane (or is it supposed to be someone else?)

That was my 13th. Wonder if I'm the only one to rate it a bit higher than Meditations. This was the third after Oh Yeah and Sarah Vaughan in my top 40 to appear.

well there's this one
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41V2819P8DL._SL500_AA300_.jpg
which is a later recording of most of the same material.
the "first" meditations (quartet version) was released posthumously, i believe. trying to get psychedelic...or something.

First Meditations was released in 1978, I believe. Hence the crappy cover. Great record, though; fascinating to hear Meditations with just the unaugmented quartet.

The difference is that First Meditations was recorded 9/2/65, and Meditations was recorded 11/23/65 with Pharoah Sanders and Rashid Ali.

Never heard First Meditations despite ranking Meditations proper um, quite highly on my ballot. That cover stopped me from ever picking it up in record stores tbh.

i must admit im unfamiliar with it too

they're both great -- first meditations is better imo.

Dudes. It's the very last recording made by the classic Coltrane quartet. Whether you think it's better than the later version or not, it's essential!

such a big album...I voted for this.

i forget if i did or not. I cant remember my ballot at all so if there's a lack of 'i voted for this' it's probably because i forgot if i did or not.

That's the one Shorter Blue Note I haven't heard. I'm reasonably certain Super Nova is on my ballot, though.

deej will be chuffed to bits

Now that I've resolved my html problems, is there a way to see your history when listening to Spotify in shuffle mode or any mode) once you shift playlists? I just heard something cool with some kind of flamenco sound and castanets and a female vocalist and now I don't know what it was.

Actually I went to look at what it was and hit some button by accident which played something else.

last.fm?
