redskyformiles: Some Of My Favorite Jazz Albums

redskyformiles 07.06.10	Tried not to overload it with a bunch of albums by the same artists.
acorncheese 07.06.10	There need to be more "Shape of ______ to Come" albums. I only know of Jazz and Punk.
Prolapse 07.06.10	punk list is awesome
acorncheese 07.06.10	I've only skimmed The Shape of Jazz to Come, but yeah, Shape of Punk is one of the greatest albums of all time. I want more Shape of albums, dammit.
Ghostechoes 07.06.10	Great list, even though I have only listened to half of these albums. (I thought Fela Kuti was considered Afrobeat)
Prolapse 07.06.10	Yes it is My dad always plays Miles Davis, probably the only good music he listens to
NeutralThunder12 07.06.10	WOW THOMAS! I'm a huge jazz guy too. You have some INCREDIBLE STUFF ON HERE. 1 is my favorite of all time.WOW. Great to see 7 on here, oh and 6. For some reason my fave Coltrane is My Fave Things but ok. Good call on 9, 10, 11, 13. OMFG 16.OMFG 24. Some of these are great, some unknown/less popular. I've been meaning to check out 27 for a while.29-32 are all awesome. OHHH. Dude nice on 28. Of course 35, 38, WOWOWOWWOWOWOWOWOWWWWWW OMFG 41 is amazing, great guitar player. I just got 43, haven't listened yet. I need moar 45and 46. This impressed me redsky, and this is coming from someone who studies and loves the jazz genre, especially classic jazz.
Prolapse 07.06.10	lolwut
Ire 07.06.10	great list will have to check out more
Dryden 07.06.10	yah
redskyformiles 07.06.10	most of these are rather well known. I dunno how someone that "someone who studies and loves the jazz genre" could just be getting around to listening to Horace Silver. the dude's a fucking legend.
NeutralThunder12 07.06.10	I used the wrong word. Not 'unknown', but less popular then, say, the 'bigger' guys of classic jazz, such as Miles, Coltrane, Mingus, Montgomery, Cannonball and Bill Evans. And I don't study jazz as in it's history, I study composition/jazz structure/chord progressions. I just recently became a jazz fan, really this year, and I'm going through tons of albums as quickly as I can. I listened to Horace before, but never a full length. There are still more I need to check out, I've already checked out like 20 Miles albums, who's just my favorite EVER, and various other jazz artists from the classic jazz movements. I still need a lot more, and there are some here that I simply have not gotten around to.
londoncalling457 07.06.10	those of which i own here are all amazing.
redskyformiles 07.06.10	i forgot max roach's percussion bitter sweet.
PanasonicYouth 07.06.10	ITT: progmaster gets a boner for redsky
NeutralThunder12 07.06.10	Yeah, I got a boner for redsky when I saw this, but it went away when I jacked to maybeshewill
Douglas 07.06.10	List is pretty much perfect.
clairvoyant 07.06.10	yes a jazz list! anyways 1 and 2 are obviously genius, i dont know if enough can ever be said about them. i suppose 1 may be underrated by the people who mainly just know bitches brew and kind of blue. mingus is the tits, and herbie is my favorite. have you listened to any of his other recordings? thrust and empyrean islands are my two other favorites, but really all his stuff through man-child is awesome. 17 is great and and as for 24 and 25 i really tried to get into but i never REALLY got into to any songs except miles beyond. but the band is very talented such as billy cobham (36 is great) and jan hammer. check out wired by jeff becker...hammer plays on it, its a great album 27 i;ve never listened to but have always had it reccomended from people...maybe i need to give it a shot, same with wayne shorter solo records. anyways...i digress, great list...im gonna go listen to some monk now
redskyformiles 07.06.10	I've got a bunch more Herbie. I'll check out that Becker album.
clairvoyant 07.06.10	haha i meant *jeff beck not becker, but anyways, awesome album
Enotron 07.06.10	great list man. I bookmarked this so I could refer to this when looking for jazz.
Thor 07.06.10	MINGUS AH UM!
klap 07.06.10	can't take this list seriously with that new profile pic adam wtf you trying to do not make me sleep?
redskyformiles 07.06.10	spelunking, bro
TheBoss88 07.06.10	Pretty great list. Sonny Rollins always falls under the radar unfortunately - truly one of the underrated greats. Was fortunate enough to see him 4 rows from the stage back in April and it was worth EVERY penny. You should check out the Preservation Hall Jazz Band if you haven't already. I have Songs Of New Orleans and it's fantastic!
redskyformiles 07.07.10	will do
TwasGenocide 07.07.10	Heres some recs bro. Kneebody ELDAR DJANGIROV HIROMI'S SONICBLOOM Christian Scott
couldwinarabbit 07.08.10	@ Progmaster stop saying you like Jazz so people think you are smart. @redsky. I'm not a huge jazz guy, have about 1/2 of these. I obviously love Davis, Coltrane, Cannonball...etc. But it's awesome to see Fela Kuti, Nelson, The Mahavishnu Orchestra and my favourite composer Mingus. Try Hypnotic Jazz Ensemble- Hypnotic Jazz Ensemble my album of last year.
Ire 07.08.10	things that trigger a progmaster thread: jazz opeth prog metallica btbam using the word pretentious a lot despite not knowing its proper use
couldwinarabbit 07.08.10	@ Ire also saying Radiohead is good esp Amnesiac. Which is ironic as it is basically jazz.
redskyformiles 07.08.10	I've got Kneebody, Hiromi and Christian Scott. all great. I'll check out Eldar Djangirov.
UnnamedOcean 07.08.10	Mingus ftw! I love jazz so much. I don't listen to it enough though, I play it more.
JamieCTA 07.12.10	absolutely awesome list man! Just about ALL of my favorites were in your list as well as a good handful that I haven't listened to (which means I will be acquiring asap).
MutnikSpusic 08.01.10	Yusef is pure let is say "win" very good list!
