Jazz: Competition & Discussion

RoundTheBend · 2018-04-17T22:10:02-04:00

Welcome to what might become the ultimate Jazz thread. This thread is not only to share your favorite/best Jazz records to compete in the Genre Olympics, but also to learn and share all you want/can about Jazz and all it's sub-genres. And the medals go to: Gold A Love Supreme by John Coltrane Silver The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady by Charles Mingus Bronze In A Silent Way by Miles Davis Let the Games Begin! Alright everyone. I don't think I screwed up the final calculations, but please feel free to correct me if I did. Here are the top 10 finalists for the Jazz Genre Olympics. Next steps are for anyone and everyone to rank the following albums (even if you didn't submit during the original qualifications to rank the following albums. See OP on how the point system works (#1 weighted with 10 points and #10 with 1 point). Unless we get more voters, this might all stay the same and the Gold will go to A Love Supreme, Silver to The Black Saint and The Sinner Lady, & Bronze to In A Silent Way. Many of you have given commentary on why you love the albums you do, so if you haven't maybe vote why? Enjoy! 1. 59 points as voted by Tap/PurpleHazel/NormanBates/Kool Keith Sweat/Mercury/Fischman/Rocky A Love Supreme by John Coltrane 2. 37 points as voted by Rhyner, Mercury, Rocky, AfterHours, PurpleHazel The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady by Charles Mingus 3. 27 points as voted by Rhyner, Fischman, Mercury, Seth In A Silent Way by Miles Davis 4. 23 points as voted by Mercury, Rhyner, Rocky Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis 5. 23 points as voted by Rhyner, Rocky, Norman, Seth Mingus Ah Um by Charles Mingus 6. 20 points as voted by Rocky, Chief Sarah Vaughan by Sarah Vaughan 7. 18 points as voted by Kool Keith Sweat/Tap Lörrach / Paris 1966 by Albert Ayler 8. 16 Points as voted by PurpleHazel, Norman, Fischman Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers by Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers 9. 15 points as voted by Hayden, Seth Soulville by Ben Webster Tie between: 10. 14 points as voted by Rhyner, Hayden, Norman Karma by Pharoah Sanders 10. 14 points as voted by Rhyner, Rocky Bitches Brew by Miles Davis Competition: submit nominations of your top 10 albums - where #10 = 1 point and #1 = 10 points. The ten albums with the most points from these nominations will be in the running for the olympic medal for the genre and then people could listen to all ten and rank the ten with the same points structure to determine the winners. Timeline to be determined. Discussion: 1. Social/historical/cultural significance 2. Some kind of question you want answered/discussed 3. Thoughts on the production/recordings 4. Analytical critique 5. Interesting stuff about the band/artist 6.
