I take back everything I said about this thread being slow.

i like you

Andrew Hill's Point of Departure (1964) takes priority too

Donald Byrd - A New Perspective (1963)
Dorothy Ashby - Afro-Harping (1968)
Alice Coltrane - A Monoastic Duo

Moondog is a classical album far more so than jazz

The classic problem of Third Stream, too sophisticated to be pure jazz, too jazzy to be liked by classical nerds.

Yeah it's classical

My bad.

Give another 69 album asap (please)

Thanks to all who are helping, by the way.

for 1967:

Don Cherry - Symphony for Improviser

also maybe Jazz Meets India and Mama Too Tight but i feel those are less essential

1961:
Abbey Lincoln - Straight Ahead
Ornette Coleman - This Is Our Music
Yusef Lateef - Eastern Sounds

>All these black artists
Do you write for pitchfork OP?

I am really excited to listen to these.

Color has nothing to do with this.
If you have suggestions feel free to give them.

>Herbie Hancock albums are the very first ones added to the chart

Hmmm...

I don't know what you seem to be implying....

When do we decide which albums SHOULDN'T be on the chart. For starters-

Al Hirt
Donald Byrd- A New Perspective
New York Art Quartet
Fat Albert Rotunda
Karma

>Fat Albert Rotunda
T R I G G E R E D

But anyway we do swapouts when the chart is full

STILL NEEDED:
60 - 1
62 - 6
64 - 4
66 - 5
67 & 68 - 1
69 - 3

>No Latin Side '74
:(

Added.

Need 3 more for 64 along with the others listed

free jazz is a 1961 release buddy, waltz for debby is 1962, but sunday at the village vanguard is 1961, and you have the wrong this is our music

take out inventions and dimensions, or my point of view I don't care they're both mediocre, for Getz/gilberto, the sidewinder or eastern sounds. I don't care for karma much either but i think it deserves to be there, considering the year.

>or my point of view
I can live with that.

Also get outta my god damn house Inventions was fucking awesome.

I'll try to fix what I can.

Live at the Village Vanguard Again! by Coltrane for 1966

ahh i was looking at the wrong year. still 63 should have hub-tones, page one, our man in paris

Charles Mingus's Oh Yeah and Tijuana Moods and Coltrane's Live at the Village Vanguard for 1962
Night Dreamer by Wayne Shorter for 1964
Art Blakey's Indestructible for 1966

I propose Jazz impressions of japan by brubeck

John Coltrane - Ascension (1966)
Duke Ellington - Afro-Bossa (1963)

Needed

60 - 0
62 - 3
66 - 4
67 & 68 - 1
69 - 3

Afterwards we can talk swapouts.

Lee Morgan - Search for the New Land (1964)
Archie Shepp - The Magic of Ju-Ju (1967)

One's already on there and 64 is filled by now.

(62) Money Jungle - Duke E.
(66) Drums Unlimited - Max Roach.

fugg
Sun Ra - Strange Strings (1966)
Bobby Hutcherson - Stick-Up! (1966)

Does live counts?
John Coltrane - Live at the Village Vanguard (62)

Dude, what about Coltrane's Live at the Village Vanguard for 1962 and Live at the Village Vanguard Again! for 1966?

>Strange Strings
Second this

didn't realize how (relatively) dry 1962 was for jazz.

Update.

>Does live counts?
I'd prefer not to.

We both think the same!

Money Jungle is repeated in 62-63

Night Train Oscar Peterson (62)

Why fuck! It was!

Added!

now you have it twice in 63 lol

Ok I found 2 contenders for the last spot in 62.

Dexter Gordon - GO!
Charlie Byrd - Stan Getz

Which would you guys prefer on there?

Ray Barretto - Acid 1968

I was about to post Gordon, it sounds good.
Also:
Let Freedom Ring -Jackie McLean

>I'd prefer not to
But you already have Waltz with Debby, and jazz is definitely a genre where live recordings are just as valuable as studio versions, sometimes moreso. If you limit your jazz listening to studio only, you'll miss a lot of amazing shit.

Quiet Kenny by Kenny Dorham for the last spot of 1960

The Individualism of Gil Evans if you're looking for another 64' release.

One for 66 and 67 and 2 for 69 are all we need now.

My implication wasn't to remove Waltz with Debby, which is a complete masterpiece, but if you're really gonna get on this live thing you may as well remove Coleman's At the Golden Circle, which is another masterpiece but whatever.

I'm figuring this out.

I just feel like it's strange when I have every single album be a studio album and then just 1 or 2 that aren't.

I might end up putting them back on. Who knows.

>Does live counts?
>I'd prefer not to.
I thought the rockism meme died already.
God help you if you want to listen to early jazz.

I totally understand not including live albums for like rock albums or something, but with jazz the line's blurrier in my opinion. I get what you're saying though, and you're making the chart so do what makes you happy.

I meant when I have 118 albums that are studio on the chart it'd be weird to have only 2 or 3 lives.

Like I said: I'm flexible. when the chart is full I'm more than willing to do swapouts.

I'm not doing it to 'make me happy' I'm trying to figure out what would make the most sense.

I wanna focus on getting the empty years full and then we can talk about including lives.

Sound fair?

I think it would be fair since 62 was not a great year for jazz and that Coltrane is amazing.

Like I said, I wanna fill out 66, 67, and 69 first.

We need 1 from the first 2 and 2 for 69.

1969:
Manfred Schoof - European Echoes
Anthony Braxton - For Alto

Thanks.

I managed to find a couple for 66 and 67.

Only rule for swapouts is to be specific.
Say what you want replaced AND what to replace it with, not just one or the other.

McCoy Tyner - The Real McCoy for 67'

Live at the Village Vanguard for Jazz Samba

You sure I shouldn't add the 'Waltz for Debby' one?

Alright man. Adding it.

Didn't notice that. But I don't really know which one should go...

Maybe Tijuana Moods? There's already Oh Yeah

Is this spicy enough, papa?

I'm ok with it. Saving this. Thanks ;)

No prob bob here's the 50s one too.

swapout request bonanza:

1964: replace The Latin Side of Vince Guaraldi with Horace Silver - Song for My Father
1965: replace Giuseppi Logan Quartet with Sam Rivers - Fuchsia Swing Song
1965: replace New York Art Quartet with Albert Ayler - Spiritual Unity
1966: replace Curtis Amy's Mustang with Charles Lloyd - Dreamweaver
1966: replace Sun Ra's Strange Things with The Cannonball Adderley Quintet - Mercy, Mercy, Mercy!

Then there are also great studio albums that were recorded in the 60's but not released until later. Wayne Shorter's The Soothsayer and Andrew Hill's Passing Ships being good examples.

And something else that you'd probably never include are live recordings from the 60's that weren't released til later. Like Mingus at Antibes or Cornell. Or the live recordings of the Miles Davis Quintet which are probably some of the greatest live jazz recordings of all time, and definitely essential "60's jazz" ... but won't end up on this chart.

Seconding pretty much all these

>Then there are also great studio albums that were recorded in the 60's but not released until later.
Then they'll be on later charts. I'm doing them for all the decades...

Boy oh boy the 70s one is gonna be a banana fest.

I can't tell if you're complaining about the chart or not...

Fuck sorry for not replying.

I can do most of these I just need a minute
Guess why.

[spoiler] topsters didn't fucking save again [spoiler]

Seems odd to me to include 1967 recordings of the Miles Davis Quintet live in Europe in the 2010's chart just because it was released in 2011.

The 2010s chart won't be for a long time.

We'll see what happens.

Here it is folks.

>nobody thanked me or liked my trips

checked

you're based as fuck my man. keep being the realest nigga. Can't wait for a chart thread that can actually participate in again (I don't know any jazz (outside of Herbie that is (:))

Saved

Thanks my man.

I gotta find the frickin mu discord again at some point and mega post all these.

If you have any ideas for the next theme let me know.

Very nice my good friend. Thanks.

Thanks.
