John Coltrane was prolific wasn't he?

― Bee OK, Thursday, 22 May 2014 01:42 (eleven years ago)

4 John Coltrane - My Favorite Things
7 Thelonious Monk with John Coltrane - Thelonious Monk with John Coltrane
17 John Coltrane - Coltrane Jazz
24 John Coltrane - Africa/Brass

Africa/Brass. On some days it's my favorite Coltrane record.

― EZ Snappin, Thursday, 22 May 2014 02:59 (eleven years ago)

Great year for Jazz, but Bobby Bland is rightly ranked #1.

― jetfan, Thursday, 22 May 2014 03:46 (eleven years ago)

I love Oliver Nelson's "Stolen Moments," but My Favorite Things easily (for the title track, yes). My birth year--lots of great pop singles, but I guess nothing special in albums. Patsy Cline had an album with both "Crazy" and "I Fall to Pieces."

Bill Evans vs Bill Evans, I vote for Bill Evans

judy garland over gil evans

― balls, Friday, 23 May 2014 01:16 (eleven years ago)

I like about 10 of these and need to hear the ones I haven't

I might have to break my rule of voting for Gil Evans in any poll where Gil Evans is an option, because

i have not seen "Breakfast at Tiffany's" either, i need to fix that.

― Bee OK, Friday, 23 May 2014 15:30 (eleven years ago)

man these jazz choices are tough

― ۩, Friday, 23 May 2014 15:34 (eleven years ago)

Probably gonna go with George Russell -- that's such an amazing record, and he's pretty underrated.

― Montgomery Burns' Jazz (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Friday, 23 May 2014 15:45 (eleven years ago)

i have not seen "Breakfast at Tiffany's" either, i need to fix that. - eh, not really

― balls, Friday, 23 May 2014 16:14 (eleven years ago)

free jazz over bobby

― g simmel, Friday, 23 May 2014 16:38 (eleven years ago)

I read somewhere that Free Jazz was not Ornette's title -- Atlantic (possibly Nesuhi Ertegun) came up with it -- and he always hated it (the title, not the record).

― Montgomery Burns' Jazz (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Friday, 23 May 2014 16:47 (eleven years ago)

Love the Bobby Bland. Don't know the others too well

― curmudgeon, Friday, 23 May 2014 16:56 (eleven years ago)

Voting for the Bill Evans Sunday at the Vanguard record. Love that album.

― Diddley Hollyberry (Phil D.), Friday, 23 May 2014 18:03 (eleven years ago)

eh, not really

good to know.

John Coltrane was prolific wasn't he?

Olé Coltrane also came out in '61 - that would get my vote if it had made the list but as it is I'll go with My Favorite Things.

― Gavin, Leeds, Sunday, 25 May 2014 00:13 (eleven years ago)

Olé Coltrane also came out in '61 - that would get my vote if it had made the list

it actually came out in 1962 and will be on next years list.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

― System, Monday, 26 May 2014 00:01 (eleven years ago)

Voted Gil but apparently 1961 is ground zero for jazz records liked by me.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.
