Just catching up to yesterday's posts, but I'm going to play my only "TOO LOW!" on Waltz for Debby/Sunday at the Village Vanguard. Seriously figured at least one of those for top 20. So maybe Everybody Digs will be the top Evans pick?

Wtf "i ws put off by the title" its a jazz subgenre

I'll cosign sunday at the vv being too low

The complete Sunday/Debby box that came out a while back is totally essential.

It was a joke, deej.

88    Miles Davis - Nefertiti (1968) 912 Points, 8 votes

that was only the 18th Miles Davis album to appear so far in the 250

I'll be grazing here and there in the Spotify playlist for the next few days -- listing to Noah Howard now.

Alright, I give in - who is this John Coltrane guy who keeps popping up? Another obscure experimental funk ilx favorite?

That is the 10th Coltrane album to appear in the countdown

I'd be interested to see at the end who turns up on the most albums without having an album of their own on the list (i.e., which sidemen are most prominent).

ron carter or maybe billy higgins

i never gave birth of the cool a chance either. was put off by the music. nefertiti otoh is amazing.

Birth of the Cool is straight classic except for the final track with the vocal, which sorta ruins the mood imho

no Chet Baker eh :(

love that inbetween a small group and big band texture of the nonet or whatever it was on BotC

ron carter or maybe billy higgins

yeah I would think it's gonna be either a drummer (philly joe jones? elvin?) or a bass player (def Ron)

85    Miles Davis - Bags' Groove (1957) 930 Points 8 votes

#19th

huh thought Crescent might be the one that superhip jazzbos might place higher than love supreme or something.
classic record, i voted for it. also voted for love supreme though.

listening to crescent for the first time right now, very nice. softer than most of the quartet stuff i've heard.

Crescent was my top Coltrane pick.

John, that is. :)

yeah crescent is perfect, super moody, even for coltrane. lonnie's lament is my fave i think.

Was expecting to see Tauhid place higher than that. Some great Sonny Sharrock stuff on that one.

I'm learning a lot in this thread. For instance, had no idea that Clifford Jarvis worked outside of Sun Ra's groups.

talking of which...

83 Sun Ra - Angels & Demons At Play (1960) 940 Points, 10 votes
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41Q7W96GJVL._SL500_AA300_.jpg

you only need to utter his name once and he turns up on an ILM poll..

#9 of the poll for mr ra

has sun ra been sampled a lot/anywhere?

82    John Coltrane - Stellar Regions (1967) 942 Points, 9 votes  One #1

11th for Mr Coltrane

has sun ra been sampled a lot/anywhere?

MF Doom, Wooden Shjips... I'm sure there's others

i bet every other record in this poll has been sampled to shit

Doubt anyone has ever sampled Noah Howard's The Black Ark, though that would be fucking awesome. I'm glad other people voted for it.

Crescent rating lower than Stellar Regions is kinda crazy. Only 8 votes? I wouldn't rate it his best, but definitely in his top 4-5.

81    Thelonious Monk - Monk's Dream (1962) 949 Points, 10 votes

Love this album

Me too.

that's how tough culling my ballot was when that monk album didn't make my 100
