Just an observation, really - but I just noticed for what might be the first time in about 10 months, that HH's 'Crossings' has been knocked off the top 5.
Again, not mentioning this because I'm freaked out, but it's interesting to see the top 5 change a little - and I'm pretty excited to see Mingus creep in again Edited by dreadpirateroberts - 02 Jun 2012 at 11:17am |

wow Herbie got knocked out. Miles Davis deserves to have 3 of his own albums in the top spots (I didn't even look at the top 10), but it'd be nice if it was spread out more. But then again, lists like this are usually for newbies, so exposure to Miles' music usually leads to more jazz. And who better to than Miles as your first jazz experience?

Well 2 of those are my 2 favourite jazz albums of all time, so I'm not exactly discontent with it. There is a lot of Miles I prefer over those other selections, but they are still very good (obviously)

True indeed, Miles is a pretty awesome starting place, absolutely. If someone utterly new to jazz sees the the Top5/Top10 at any stage and it's got some Miles in it, they're gonna be on the right track. Yeah, Herbie was at 6 last night, so still hovering. |

I was a little too - I like the album and it's important in the development of the modal approach, but I didn't expect it the way I expect KOB to be there
What's your second? (Assuming teh first is Mingus) |

Sometimes Miles may be too much for a first experience, it took me many years and hundreds of hours of jazz listening to start digging Miles

I think the problem with a lot of the fusion music is that it's extremely predictable, it's a rock rhythm and the solos all play the same stuff and they play it over and over again ...

^ Yeah? I'm curious, which Miles ones did you start with? Mine were KOB, Round About Midnight, so some of his more accessible ones etc I imagine getting something else to start with would be different

Cool, can you remember what it was like to listen to the first time? I remember being instantly being 'soothed' I guess and think that despite the rhythm section seeming to be 'unchanging' (I was young and used to more overtly shifting rhythm sections of other genres) I was instantly drawn in to the tone of the sax and trumpet |

I was 'blocked', I found it too 'heavy' for me,even today it's not on my top 10 or even 20.At that time I enjoyed Bill Evans, Ben Webster, Dave Brubeck , EST

IASW is one of those albums I've never appreciated as much as other people seem to... I love it, without a doubt, but I don't seem to have the same passion for it a lot of other jazzers do. When I want electric Miles, I usually end up reaching for Bitches Brew.

^ I think "In The Sky" and "Kilimanjaro" to be indispensable to study these a series of situation likewise. A thought and the expression that Miles went before to enter into in the 70s are very remarkable with these albums. I feel that these are not at all incompletions to BB album.

I tend to slide in Miles In The Sky between Kilimandjaro and IASW, in Miles' electric progression As the artwork hints, it's got a certain kind psych quality to it, that brings it rather close to BB |

I think Miles to have always found new music. And it is a fact to have recognized the musician such as Jimi and Sly equally. Probably he would take all in. Album art of In The Sky. As for the contest by George Benson and Keith Jarrett likewise. It would be thrown all open by the filter which lasted of Miles.
