Jazz album tourney?

[Elston]

I like this idea too. And may I suggest that we avoid posting albums that have already been mentioned in someone else's top 10, because they will simply be a waste of a vote. In order to get the ball rolling here's my picks, and I apologize for stealing picks that have already been put forth - no harm intended.

Jazz Composer's Ochestra
Escalator Over the Hill - Carla Bley
Sound - Roscoe Mitchell
Thelonious Monk - Brilliant Corners
Anthony Braxton - For Alto
Bill Evans-Waltz for Debby
Albert Ayler - Spiritual Unity
Cecil Taylor - Unit Structures
John Coltrane - Giant steps
City of Glass - Stan Kenton

[RFNAPLES]

I suggest we just post the list we already have. Members could underscore, bold or X their choices. People could vote for the same albums so we could determine the winners upon tallying the results.
