What a fabulous year for jazz! I could easily have filled this poll up twice over, so I've taken the liberty of selecting just one album by each major jazz artist, which will inevitably mean I've left out one of your favourite albums from the poll, again. Still, at least there are no 2-star albums in the poll this time around. Smile

I haven't heard any of these. I guess the Jazz police need to revoke my membership.

You may have to wait until 1967 before we get into more familiar Jazz Fusion territory, although there's lots more jazz goodies still to come before then. Smile

Nice choice! I only own four albums in this list, but sadly, it doesn't include Breakfast at Tiffany's. Confused

I have none of these. Had John Coltrane's Olé Coltrane been listed, then that would have got my vote.

Bill Evans Trio - Sunday at the Village Vanguard
Oliver Nelson - The Blues and the Abstract Truth
The John Coltrane Quartet - Africa / Brass
Cecil Taylor - The World of Cecil Taylor
The Gil Evans Orchestra - Out of the Cool

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

And still you (and I) left out "My Favorite Things" - which would have been my third Coltrane-pick of the year.

+yeah "Coltrane Jazz" is like my sixth or seventh favorite 1961 Coltrane album (as I much prefer "Lush Life" over it as well. If taht one counts as it was recorded in 1958)

-I don't personally coun't The Africa Brass Sessions Vol. 2, as it's 2/3rds alternate takes - and wasn't released  until 1974.

^ I'd love to have included them all - if I'd had fifty available poll slots to fill - but I had to somehow narrow it down to just one album per artist, and typical of me, I chose the wrong album by John Coltrane. Embarrassed

^Don't worry. We're just two Coltrane fans, and with a handful of genuine classic releases ("Coltrane Jazz" not being one of them), 1961 is a very special year in his (short) recording career. It's only natural that this poll - or these polls, starts conversations or comments like the ones you reply to.

That's absolutely fine. You can always rely on me to miss out someone's favourite album from a poll - especially if it happens to be jazz poll with an overwhelming quantity of classic albums to choose from for each individual year. Smile

I have to go with Coltrane Jazz, myself. Another one that’s really good but not on the list is Ornette Coleman’s Free Jazz: A Collective Improvisation.
