>100 years of wildly different music often with zero correlation in different styles
>5 albums

pleb fucks

>Idle Moments is just a masterpiece

All my top 5 are albums I just put on at any time and enjoy all the way through, Idle Moments is probably the one that can do this the best, the album is perfect from start to finish. I'm a bit of a Blue Note fanboy so I love most of Grant Green's music.

Portrait in Jazz - Bill Evans
Monk's Dream - Thelonious monk
The shape of Jazz to Come - Ornette Coleman
Point of departue - Andrew Hill
Juju - Wayne Shorter

these are some of my favorites but it's quite impossible to narrow it down to 5 albums...

Gil Evans - The Individualism of Gil Evans
Miles Davis - Miles Smiles
Grant Green - Idle Moments
Sun Ra - Jazz in Silhouette
Krzysztof Komeda - Astigmatic

Julius Hemphill- Dogon A.D.
David S. Ware- Cryptology
Tim Berne- Science Friction
John Escreet- Exception to the Rule
Rudresh Mahanthappa- Gamak

Grant Green - Idle Moments
Fire! With Jim O'Rourke - Unreleased?
Pete La Roca - Basra
Joe McPhee - Nation Time
Hermann Szobel - Szobel

Kamasi Washington - The Epic
Ryo Fukui - Scenery
BADBADNOTGOOD - BBNG2
Fire! Orchestra - Exit!
Kendrick Lamar - To Pimp A Butterfly

...

Bait or?
Are you being serious with choosing The Epic? but then again you did pick BBNG2 which does tell a lot.

the only advice I can offer is that you expand your horizons and listen to more jazz

>Kendrick Lamar - To Pimp A Butterfly

Definitely 100% serious.

Why do people dislike the epic? fantano gave it a 9

Fantano has shit taste, and I really mean it.

well if Fantano gave it a 9 then by any means it can be a bad album

It's not like there's a huge statement in the description that says "you do understand this is my opinion right"

and besides he can't into jazz

>90% filler, boring playing, no creativity.

Does nothing for Jazz as an art form, only made for people who know literally nothing about Jazz and want to shoe horn themselves into a genre they have no real interest in. Same reason you see it alot in vinyl collection videos with the same preface "I never really liked Jazz, but this album is... amazing!"

Fuck off with this garbage shit.

Honestly this thread surprised me a bit.

people actually not just posting Kind of Blue, A love supreme, Bitches brew etc.

nothing wrong with those albums per say but it's always the same circlejerk about a few albums

>more people taking an interest in jazz is bad

Why are this genre's fans so insufferable?

The Epic is the definition of "the list goes on" Atleast people who listen to A Love Supreme end up listening to more Jazz.

The Epic is literally used by uncultured white teens to say they totally listen to Jazz.

Fuck off with this garbage shit.

>I already listened to The Epic, Davis, Mingus and Coltrane and now I'm an expert at jazz who doesn't need to listen to more of it

Jazz is a fucking meme.

All good stuff ITT

1. Charles Mingus - Let My Children Hear Music

I want to like them so much, but I just can't. Damnit.

>ITT Kind of Blue, A Love Supreme, Black Saint & Sinner Lady in every 3rd post
Post some lesser known albums that deserve more recognition for a change. I'll start

I had Heavy Weather for about 6 months, didn't really care for it; bought Black Market on impulse, then the floodgates opened. I got Tale Spinnin', Mr. Gone, and Night Passage all at once a month later, Live in Offenbach 1978 at the late end of June this year, then Sweetnighter just two weeks ago

>complains about too much Mingus
>posts more Mingus
Do you have brain damage?

>sees Return to Forever mentioned, is happy
>not Romantic Warrior
>related.jpg
>it's their debut
>order is restored

wtf this album is not underrated. it is a pile of shit though

Weather Report is absolute fucking garbage

Romantic Warrior is fun but it's at best their third best album

t. chick corea

this is neither lesser known nor "deserving of more recognition"

if anything it's one of the most overrated albums on all of Sup Forums

you literally just looked at the roster and the LE MOODY black and white cover and assumed it was a hidden masterpiece

it's a generous 6.5/10 and nowhere near ANY of these legendary musicians' best efforts

how would you rank RtF's material

I have no idea what chick corea thinks of anything. all I know for certain is that Weather Report is the single largest fuel for the "ECM can suck my ass" crowd and I actually understand it

>likes Weather Report
>likes some ECM material
>feelsconflictedman

1. S/T
(power gap)
2. Light as a Feather
3. Romantic Warrior
4. Hymn of 7th Galaxy
5. WHIKYB
6. No Mystery
(power gap)
7. Musicmagic

fuck I was writing my ranking but honestly you nailed it

except I'm not sure abotu Musicmagic even though I got it on vinyl as a present but never listened to it

...

1. Romantic Warrior
2. Debut
(power gap)
3. WHIKYB
4. No Mystery (fokin foight meh)
5. Hymn of the 7th Galaxy
6. Light as a Feather (I'm not big on the vocals, it's my least favorite part of debut)
(power gap)
7. Musicmagic

my ranking is probably more enjoyability over absolute quality though, so please do take it with a grain of salt

>I don't like this album so I'm going to pretend that it gets forced out of proportion
I never implied Mingus is bad or the albums that I mentioned are bad. They are just jazz essentials so they are obvious picks

that album is an obvious pick too

My favorite things- Coltrane
Go man!-Sonny Criss
Question and answer- Pat Metheny
Arclight- Julian Lage
Mingus Big band Live at Jazz standard- Mingus Big Band

Only 5 patricians in the whole thread apparently

point em out i wanna see if im a lucky lady ;>

Ken McIntyre - Looking Ahead
John Coltrane - Dakar
Elmo Hope - Trio and Quintet
Jutta Hipp - With Zoot Sims
Lee Konitz - Subconsciouslee

...

>tfw someone compliments your taste

Why not me? ;_;

wow, really good thread. was expecting the usuals, Kind of Blue, Giant Steps, etc
we have somewhat similar taste bruh, loving Lee Konitz and Elmo Hope

my list:
Leni Tristano - Leni Tristano
Thelonious Monk - any album, lol
Miles Davis with John Coltrane Olympia Theater gig
Miles Davis- On The Corner
Bill Evans - The Complete Village Vanguard Recordings
Eric Dolphy and Ken McIntyre

Charles Mingus - Black Saint and Sinner Lady
Grant Green - Idle Moments
Kaoru Abe - Mort a Credit
Miles Davis - On the Corner
Sun Ra - Strange Celestial Road

In release order

1. Stan Keton - City Of Glass
2. Jimmy Giuffre - Freefall
3. Anthony Davis - Variations In Dreamtime
4. Sonny Sharrock - Ask The Ages
5. Anthony Braxton - 3 Compositions (EEMHM) 2011

I really need to get into more minimal arrangement stuff outside Freefall. What's some good stuff with three or less people? I really enjoyed the Trio 3 release from this year (Visiting Texture.)
>all these Mingus TBSATSL guys
Kek. I feel people are more comfortable posting it not just because it's easy to get into without knowing jazz, but also because it seems to get less hate than anyone that would post KOB or ALS (which are both I would say actually very good)

>peeps repping Anthony Braxton
Cool stuff
