Alright round two and Santana would be my pick normally but again like the first poll there were two I enjoyed spinning the most and that was Soft machine and Elephant 9. I'll be back with my vote.

I was blown away at the heavy atmosphere. This album is like a train that sometimes is going 10 miles an hour and at other times 100 miles an hour. Reine Fisk is the icing on the cake. I need to play this and Softs one more time.

Caravanserai is a masterpiece but so are Softs and that One Shot album....
I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

Quite a close call between Santana, Elephant9, and One Shot.

Going to have to go with the pachyderms.

Really? A fusionhead that gets nothing out of Caravanserai? Are you sure? For me it's between that and Mountainscapes (which I find less hard to believe it's not necessarily right up everty fusionheads alley)

Caravanserai isn't just essential Santana, it's essential.

My vote as well, I am so into Karl Jenkins' electric piano work and Etheridge's guitar but the atmosphere! Just love it! There's more ex NUCLEUS members on here than anyone else at this point which is pretty cool me being such a massive fan of that band.

I find these Jazz polls more difficult probably because I'm so into this style of music plus with all the variety it's almost what my mood is feeling, my votes are going to what I'm into right now in October of 2021.

Totally get this because there are whole sections of Jazz I avoid because of high pitched, plastic sounding synths, or the traditional Jazz stuff that's not electric. Yes there are stone cold classics among them of course but I just don't like them. Synths are the number one issue for me in Jazz. This is my tastes and you have yours. It's all good!

I'm kind of surprised that anyone who would know all of these well enough to be able to say that none of them do anything for them would find nothing in the albums to appeal.

Nice to see Financial Tycoon in the list, been ages since I last listened to that. Mind you, while it was an early acquisition of mine, it wasn't an album that wowed me.

My vote is Companyia Electrica Dharma- Diumenge. Love it.

Some obscure ones there for sure Greg. And yes COMA's album is my least favourite in this poll but an entertaining album regardless that I quite enjoy. I think my Jazz and related list would have been perfect at 65 albums but I wanted 60 or 70 and it was easier to add some that otherwise wouldn't have been on here than take five away. 
How talented was that Companyia Electrica Dharma band? So complex at times, just a treat.
