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

rockism yes, someone already said that

rockist to point this out imo

by which i mean i should have read the thread

thnx sd -- fwiw i felt like the discussion was worthwhile & i enjoyed hearing some ppl's perspectives on it for sure incl some of those who disagreed

rock is the best, though let's be real
rock vs. jazz poll coming soon.

haha oh god imagine a composers poll? (actually that would be a great poll and would be very enlightening ) but imagine the fighting

Bit of a blip in 1968 - what went wrong?

oh cool, thanks NickB! (fancy doing record labels? haha)

lack of charlie parker is understandable -- other than massey hall, right? but he's not an album dude. but the real great one is the 1945 Town Hall show. like the monk/coltrane discovery, this is one that delivers on the hype.

Meant to say to include labels when you started the run down :( xp

id say 'parker w/ strings' could have made my top 150 or so

I voted for The Charlie Parker Story, even though the false starts outnumber the complete takes.

gimme 10 mins then i'll post the whole 500 or whatever it was

Anyhow, after years of not really listening to any jazz at all, this has definitely reignited my interest. TBH I thought this was a v. crazy idea and was totally O_O when I saw you were doing a top 250, but there are some interesting looking things throughout the whole rundown, so thanks a lot for doing this Kerr!

think i'm most sad that Louis and Duke's "Great Summit" didn't make it :((((

That's a great one (thought I didn't vote for it). Far better than I expected it would be.

Like I said, nothing particularly insightful is going to come from me but despite everything I would not hesitate in sending this link to anyone who wanted to know "what are 250 jazz albums that I should listen to?" This isn't a Downbeat poll. It's a bunch of nerds on ILX so of course it's going to be a little skewed but I love it.

But to add to the list of racist oversights, no Gerry Mulligan? C'mon, now.

Smaller polls like top 50s/100s miss out on a lot of really great but 'niche' albums as 'canonical' albums dominate. Which means no-one really learns anything apart from newbies. But the fact a lot of the jazz d-bag thread regs said they learned lots of new albums validates it. Just because an album isn't in the top 50 doesn't mean it's not worthwhile, that goes for any genre.
Obviously I didn't decide on a top 250 til seandalai sent me the results and realised it could be done. So thanks to all of you who voted and made it possible. Especially those who did the full 100 ballots. That was awesome. The jazz fans might be a tiny niche on ILM but they sure are dedicated.

I'm pretty damn sure that any message board on the internet would have different results from each other. This one really does represent ILM though and I hope lots do check albums out.

I learned that nobody likes jazz vocalists but me :(

posting this for the fuck of it
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4aHWG7aqPM

even tho it has a terrible cover, this is my favorite vocal jazz record (not an "album" per se)

A Love Supreme at #15 = people love jazz vocals.

Lot's of people like jazz singers. ilxors who don't like jazz singers just don't like to vote. Quite a few jazz fans on ilx are anti-poll

ilxors who like jazz singers just don't like to vote

my first exposure to Ella Fitzgerald was her cameo in an episode of the White Shadow lol

yay IaSW! otm whoever said nothing else scratches that itch, i feel that too
also, i love jazz singers

special thanks to kerr for being a positive force even if i do sort of regret voting now that i know that i don't deserve to have an opinion, and thanks for spreading the cosmic spirit through spotify

a tip of the spiritual hat to all of you for caring enough about jazz in 2011 to argue about it on the internet
seriously

okay I'm done I promise

I'm trying to set up the hat poll but ILX doesn't like the images I'm using and I keep getting opaque error messages. Does anyone know if there are constraints like max image size or anything I might be missing?

I don't know if seandalai has a spreadsheet link for future reference so I'm posting this all here. Sorry there's no formatting so hope its legible.

Also, I never noticed before that Pharoah is wearing the same hat on Black Unity as he is wearing on Thembi.

holy shit xp

264 Charles Mingus - At Antibes 332 2 0

ooh man this this this

persian lamb hat?

http://www.russianlegacy.com/catalog/images/hats/C7431.jpg

big albums i expected to go top 100 just missed out.

Maybe if I had done a top 300 people would have been happier?

apparently they are also called ushanka

Yes, that's the one! Wonder who wore it first?

Nice results. I'm a little surprised I'm the only one to vote Black Saint #1 though. I own pretty much everything Mingus ever did mainly because I was hoping he'd matched that album. He had a lot of great albums, but nothing quite so intense. Also, the only jazz album to soundtrack my dreams.
