I'm making a playlist and I'm looking for some nice jazz albums. I'm not too familiar with the genre but I really like Scenery.

I regret not adding Death Wish to this guide.
Adrian Hall

Wyatt Reyes

William Moore
>Bitches Brew - Miles Davis
>The Shape of Jazz to Come - Ornette Coleman
>A Love Supreme - John Coltrane
Those are some of my favorites but are extremely entry level and coming from someone who doesn't typically listen to jazz. The Sup Forumscore chart has some other good ones.
And if you're counting jazz fusion beyond Miles Davis,
>Hot Rats - Frank Zappa
>Anything by Pat Metheny Group
Logan Russell
>Hancock 4 times.
I approve. Good taste, friend.
Jacob Cruz
5 times but thx bebe
William Hill
Even better, senpai'ly! Good shit m80.
Alexander Cox

Michael Sanchez
im redoing this chart to honor the lad who made it (helped me to appreciate jazz a bit more)
summoning jazzthreadguy: thank you
Parker Watson
If you're redoing it, please for the love of god get rid of the ODJB. Including that garbage isn't just dumb, it's insulting.
Noah Ross
rag mama rag
Charles James

Tyler Turner

Jaxon Cruz

Carter Watson
prepare to be doxxed.
that max roach album is awesome. and on the corner doesn't get too much love.

I've redone a few guides on different boards and found that not having creative input (ie changing the guide) is the way to go if you want to avoid toxicity
Id rather just modify texts so they fit in better in the design, but that's it
Thanks for the input tho, appreciated
Christopher Martinez
well that's a system of a down record so im not sure it belongs in the jazz guide anyways?
Evan Rivera
I've thought about redoing that chart many times because it's far from perfect, but a chart like that never really will be.
Anthony Brooks
why so defeatist
Alexander Gray
charts are kinda dumb
Jordan Lopez
which is the one between out to lunch and nation time?
Ian James
shots fired...at yourself.
Easton Martinez
not him but Adam's Apple - Wayne Shorter
Colton Allen

Dominic Kelly
So why is Miles second quintet objectively better than his first?
Ryder Harris

Jace Ross
>Masada - 9
>Ornette Coleman - The empty foxhole
>John Coltrane - Meditations
>Don Cherry - Dona Nostra
>Kamasi Washington - The Epic
>Albert Aylet - Spiritual Unity

Gabriel Kelly

Carter Davis

Jonathan Evans

I'd add Coleman's Science Fiction Sessions and Dolphy - Iron Man
Jace King

Grant Green is.......Solid.
Levi Adams
Right on, I just thought I'd mention it but feel free to do your own thing. The whole pre-war section has a lot of flaws, but having ODJB on there is by far the biggest issue.
ODJB has historical relevance as making the first "jazz" recordings (big emphasis on quotes) among other things, but their early stuff is just white musicians performing a scripted imitation of what an actual jazz band would sound like, most notably without any improvisation. On top of that, they were insistent on calling themselves the "Creators of Jazz" even when it was well-known that wasn't the case and took a lot of undue credit.
In short, fuck the ODJB.
