So @Bilbo and @JamesBass go on be bold, if you had to choose three from your list of 9 or 8 which would it be?! I think we're getting pretty close to 100 'top 3s' following which I'll keep my promise of pulling together a BCer's all time favourite album list for us in case it's of interest to more than just me! Today it’d be: Kind of Blue Songs in the key of life Thing of Gold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quatschmacher Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 (edited) Chris Potter’s “Song for Anyone” Avishai Cohen’s “Seven Seas” Kenny Wheeler’s “Music for large & small ensembles” I’m grateful that others have mentioned albums I would also like to have mentioned, thanks @Bo0tsy!

What's kinda interesting is both what different / eclectic tastes we have (I guess no real surprise) but also starting to see a few albums get mentioned more than once already. So in return for all of this wonderful musical chocolate box selection if we get to around 100 responses between us, I'll return the favour by trawling through everyone's responses and seeing if there is an emergent BC hall of fame in terms of favourite albums of all time. Rolling Stone magazine eat your heart out: this is a musicians' and not a music critic's list! I’ve deliberately picked stuff no one has mentioned so far. All the Mingus, Miles, Parliament, Funkadelic, RHCP, Pearl Jam, GnR, Bootsy albums listed were also contenders. Glad it didn’t include classical stuff too otherwise it’d have been even more difficult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In which case your esoteric stuff is not going to feature in our collective best of list, my dear Q, when I come to tally. But because of your recent hand injury I think you should be allowed another post with your three real favourites and not just the ones no one else is ever going to list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But because of your recent hand injury I think you should be allowed another post with your three real favourites and not just the ones no one else is ever going to list As I said, these are 3 of my real favourites. I just have more than 3. The Chris Potter album I listened to 3 times daily for three months solid when I got it. The AC album not quite as much but it wasn’t far off. And “Kind Folks” off the KW album is a melody that still makes me weep when I even think about it. Also, I thought that part of the point was to get a list of stuff that people ought to listen to. Therefore mentioning albums already mentioned seemed counterproductive. (Twist my arm and I might replace KW with “Mothership Connection” though. I remember dancing around my living room with my infant son in my arms the first time I heard that album.)

Quatschmacher Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 (edited) And still no one has mentioned Joni Mitchell. The amount of good music in the world is mind-blowing, which is why I find it astonishing when people spend so much time listening to absolute shite. (I’m not referring to anything or anyone mentioned above, just to be clear.) Edited December 9, 2017 by Quatschmacher 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, “Edith and the Kingpin” and “The Hissing of Summer Lawns” are outstanding tracks. Many of these albums can be listened to in their entirety on youtube.

progben Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 My favourite jazz album is probably Jazz Pa Svenka by Jan Johansson. Fantastic, simple and timeless. As for something modern, I really enjoyed The Epic by Kamasi Washington. Ambitious as hell at 3 hours but brilliant more often that not. Picking a rock album is fairly impossible. I'm currently listening to Tool's 10,000 Days so I'll go with that purely because I'm still finding new things to love about it 11 years on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luvverly choice! Are you aware of the other two in the same series? In case, they're "Jazz på ryska" with Arne Domnérus and Georg Riedel, and "Jazz på ungerska" with Svend Asmussen. I think I remember loving two of the three mostly, but "Jazz på svenska" was the first and will remain a fave of sorts as it introduced me to that style. BTW, "svenska" means Swedish, "ryska" means Russian, and "ungerska" means Hungarian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
