The Jazz-Funk Lounge

I have seven CD albums by Herbie Mann, and to me, he's a multi-genre Jazz musician. Some of his album are Jazz-Funk, some are Bossa Nova, and some are World Music, and when it comes to flute-playing, he's the Mann! You're right though. These ultra-long artist and albums lists are seemingly endless.  why post them, what's the point? Whatever interaction (and discussion) there was in this thread, it stopped when you started posting these lists.

Typing out these long lists is the easy part. The hard part was compiling them in the first place between five and nine years ago. The only thing is, I don't know how on earth I'm going to find the time to listen to and rate all of these Jazz albums when I still have endless prog and psych albums to listen to.  you could at least try to answer his question.

Psychedelic Paul wrote: Am I missing something here? I don't see how an A-Z list of Jazz-Funk albums is not relevant to a topic on Jazz-Funk.

Yes, you are missing my point which is: most of the albums on your A-Z list of Jazz-Funk albums hardly contains any Jazz-Funk - and that way they these lists of yours are mainly wrong... and therefore of very little value.

^ Somewhat, but not really. I feel the same. For me what doesn't make sense is to include full discographies and post 70-75% non jazz-funk albums in your own jazz-funk lounge. Anyone can post Herbie Hancocks full discography here, but in this contex only a post of his jazz-funk albums would be of any actual relevance. You do as you please, but well visitors only end up scrolling and scrolling through long and irrelevant lists of soundtracks from the 2000's and bebop albums from the late 50's, hardbop from the 60's... and I just don't see the point.
