ABCs of 60s Jazz

14. Feb. 2012, 21:59 von brianshazaaam

You know the drill from the 70s, 80s, 90s, and 00s lists. I wasn't originally planning on doing a 60s list, hence why it's appearing out of order, but I enjoyed making the other ones so I decided to put one together. Several greats knocked off because they were featured on previous lists, including John Handy, McCoy Tyner, Joe Henderson, Sun Ra, Herbie Hancock, Gary Burton, Alice Coltrane, Freddie Hubbard, Bill Evans, and Miles Davis. This means some obvious classics were lost (Maiden Voyage, Inner Urge, Nefertiti, Hub-Tones), but I kind of like that because it gives me a chance to promote other lesser known but great albums. Also cut were Sonny Rollins, Andrew Hill, Charles Mingus, Archie Shepp, Wes Montgomery, Oliver Nelson, Albert Ayler, Lee Morgan, and some wild free jazz blasts from the BYG label including albums by Dave Burrell and Alan Silva.

2010 my year of jazz

4. Jan. 2011, 6:45 von gangstayoda

around april 2010, jazz really clicked for me and i got kinda obsessive about it. so far i've even bought about half a dozen books i'm still working my way through... i'm really glad though and look forward to delving even deeper into all kinds of jazz.

here's an interesting rundown of jazz musicians in my top 100 of all time (almost 6 years in total):
22 Miles Davis
39 John Coltrane
65 Thelonious Monk
88 Ahmad Jamal
and then a few more:
145 Charlie Parker
152 Herbie Hancock
211 Charles Mingus

and here's a list of the jazz musicians in my top 100 of just the past year:
2 Miles Davis
7 Thelonious Monk
10 John Coltrane
14 Ahmad Jamal
33 Charlie Parker
65 Eric Dolphy
70 Charles Mingus
71 Ornette Coleman
83 Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers
96 Sun Ra

i went from zero jazz musicians in the top 20 overall to four in last year's top 15! that's a pretty big jump

to be fair, Herbie Hancock would probably be higher, but his songs are too long so they don't tally up as frequently.
