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.

84    Pharoah Sanders - Tauhid (1966) 932 Points, 10 votes

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

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

really? i always thought crescent was very nice but not exceptional, and they're not really comparable, but for my money i LOVE stellar regions....i didn't vote but i'da voted for just about any Monk, Rollins or ornette, and zero ra (who i useda listen to pretty extensively). who cares

I thought i voted for 3 or 4 ra but i musta cut 3 as i only had 1 on my ballot in the end

80    Miles Davis - Miles Smiles (1967) 951 Points, 9 votes

(rofl at the wrong album artwork on spotify)

would love to see "thelonious himself" place. not looking likely now after two of his more celebrated records have already made it.

An album with two #1's up next

79    Alice Coltrane - Universal Consciousness (1971) 964 Points, 7 votes, TWO #1's

no doubt two people will moan it's too low..

tbh that is shockingly low

I like that one, but Journey in Satchidananda is superior imho. UC has some more dissonant/out there moments, I guess.

wish you (and others) had all voted, although you would all vote for different things and cancel each other out and placings would remain the same.

or sun ra would fill up the top 10 completely

xp

not just two people

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

this is weird because sampling as a general opportunity only really existed within about a 10 year gap between ppl learning to do it and ppl getting sued for doing it. so they got through all the great funk records and were starting to move onto jazz/soul/anything before you had to start paying up. so it wouldn't surprise me if a lot of these records haven't been sampled at all even if they could all be flipped into something else worth hearing in a different context.

I am one of those two people Kerr refers to. Universal Consciousness is fucking transcendent on so many levels. Hearing Rashied Ali battling it out with Alice on the organ makes you think "Things can't get better than this" but then THE STRINGS KICK IN and everything is right with the world.

a hoy hoy OTM re: sampling

i remember hearing a bunch of rap songs with jazz samples years ago.
if someone ever says 'funky funky' during a herbie hancock track again im gonna hit them with a cricket bat
