So, the always tricky top ten.. Hum, without any order Ornette Coleman Dizzy Gillespie Louis Armstrong Leroy Jenkins Stephane Grappelli Lee Morgan Bud Powell Thelonious Monk Jon Hendricks John Coltrane don't you think it's funny that nobody else talked about louis armstrong? Sometimes i feel that he's kinda forgotten, at least for me i do listen to a lot of different jazz, mostly free, experimental and bebop.. ok, and a lot of swing big bands and manouche mostly, bt every time i listen to pops, i dunno, everything changes, it really makes the difference, the way he plays or sings, the simplicity, the power.. the humor ! What is your opinion about him? Oh and lately ive been discovering peter evans, in fact more is work with the Mostly Other People Do The Killing and damn, i'm getting really addicted to these guys. Outsie the list, ofcourse there is a bunch of people that i would like to put there, but it's the tricky top thing.. Mingus, Ella, Bernardo Sassetti, or the brazilian Egberto Gismonti (even that you can say that its not really jazz), the third stream Mark Feldman and his wife Sylvie Courvoisier, Stuff Smith (I know i am a violinist, i can't help it, bt he's quite amazing ahah), john carter, terry jenoure (again, jazz... ), zorn, Sarah Vaughan, Cecil Taylor, Serge Gainsbourg. Boris Vian, the duke, i could continue as everybody else, but this is mostly it [ and edit, i didnt notice that in fact somebody talked about armstrong, bt still my opinion remains, i really feel a lot of times that people dont think of him in the same way that we talk about diz, miles or other giants, maybe it's just me, i hope so ! ]

^ no doubt Louis Armstrong is one of the giants, either he's being taken for granted or people discard him because he's too 'easy' (not enough experimental/AG) for them.

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 ...

Excellent, we've been needing more Bop fans around here, as for Satchmo, our own Matt has been going on about his new massive Armstrong CD collection he just picked up. I have a few reviews up for the guy, I actually have a couple of old Armstrong vinyls from the 50s.

Satchmo is great. We just don't have a lot of fans of really old jazz, like 20s and 30s jazz. |

Compulsion!!!!!
with the "!" in the title....
Definitely his more "involved" 60's album
In the 70's, Nefertiti and Divine Revelation have some very interesting moments too, but were uneven

^ considering the other ten people on his list, that would be an odd choice ... or maybe you're spoofing the comment above you, I dunno.
