 well...what if most of the best jazz albums actually were made mor than 10 years ago? (not much point in talking about 'best classic roman architecture' built after the 546)...

| I'll get back to it later, but Cal Tjader and Carmen McRae's 'Heatwave' is my favorite of all time. |

| i was just answering your provocation: "I admit I've posted once already, but straightaway felt uneasy that the suggestions were falling into a pattern of choosing a smallish number of favourites that are mostly well known, recorded some time ago, and form part of the 'Jazz canon'. Should a list do this? ISn't there room for a more dynamic selection? What could be the alternative? How about a list just from the last ren years - otherwise it seems we have all stopped buying new records, or at least stopped listening to them". the op's request and sample: Please post the jazz albums that you think need to be included the Top 100 list. Remember, no albums that have a guitarist as leader. Don't take this too serious please, it's just a list with a lot of great records that we can show to jazz beginners as recommended listening. Here's my list: *Miles Davis - Kind of Blue *John Coltrane - Giant Steps *Joshua Redman - Wish *Michael Brecker - Tales from the Hudson *Thelonious Monk - Straight No Chaser *Charlie Parker - Yardbird Suite: The Ultimate Collection *The Dave Brubeck Quartet - Time Out *Chet Baker - Chet Baker Sings *Keith Jarrett - The Köln Concert *João Gilberto - Getz/Gilberto

| I respectfully disagree with the need for another list Version:1.0 StartHTML:0000000105 EndHTML:0000003450 StartFragment:0000002293 EndFragment:0000003414 I see no problem with the fact that many posters list records from the "classic" era of jazz as the greatest. You must bear in mind that jazz has continued to evolve since Jelly Roll Morton and other musical influences figure into this process. The evolution has had its ups and downs. The classic era, I believe, has produced the highest volume of memorable recordings. There are many reasons for this. The quality and quantity of tune smithing from the Tin Pan Alley era, radio as opposed to television, the amount of work for musicians in general, the necessity of being able to read music to play much of the popular music, along with other factors created a fertile breeding ground for the creation of a wealth of great jazz music. I feel we are fighting an uphill battle these days for the continuance of Jazz as viable musical form. There have been great recording and great players since the inception of Jazz. The masterworks from the classical era Jazz are the landmark recordings to date of the form itself. Lets hope Jazz enjoys another renaissance that eclipses the classic era. |

| My list has contained some of the classic jazz CDs (that's why they are on the list) as well as some contemporary jazz. Y'all must listen to Jeff 'Tain' Watts CD entitled 'Watts'. Talk about some hot bebop! Does anyone else out there know about 'Duke Ellington live at Newport 1956'? This is considered to be the greatest jazz album of them all and yet I see it on no ones list. Maybe folks haven't heard it yet. |

| Top 100 The Benny Goodman band which surprisingly includes Charlie Christian. Anything from the Swing Era before Jazz got so pretentious it forgot its audience. Gerry Mulligan - anything. However "I Want To Live" and the various big bands are higly reccomended. Nothing by Parker, Coltrane or any other "faster than a speeding bullet" saxophonist. Last words of wisdom:- "For God's sake don't listen to guitar players! Listen to the horn players who moved people" Coleman Hawkins unsurpassed 78 of Body & Soul for example. Your old reactionary, Nu_mike |
