Great! This list and discussion couldn't come at a more appropriate
time for me. I've been wanting to to get into more jazz for some time
now. 

Been loving Soft Machine, Mahavanishnu, Magma etc... (and some
jazzalbums like Bitches Brew, Time Out, A Love Supreme) a year or two,
I will obviously find a lot more to love. 

Quite recently got: Dolphy's: Out to Lunch, Tony Williams: Emergency!,
Mingus: Black Saint... and a couple of more. All fantastic! Can't wait
to get into more stuff. I'll keep checking into this thread for more
suggestions, and looking at the very useful list. 

BTW: The Tony Williams album is incredible. The production is just fine to my ears, and the singing is cool.

	Over land and under ashes In the sunlight, see - it flashes Find a fly and eat his eye But don't believe in me Don't believe in me Don't believe in me

	Please don't shoot the messager - unlike a lot of top 100s posted in Rolling Stone, Mojo, Classic Rock etc., Jazzwise offers you a chance to challenge their selection. They provide addresses for the following: "Write in with the recording that you think has been left out of the 100 Jazz Albums That Shock The World. Send your recommendation together with a word or two explaining why, (and of course your name & address) to :" Snails mail (for UK residents): The One That Got Away Freepost jazzwise 2(b) Gleneagle Mews Ambleside Avenue London SW16 6AE or email: [email protected] One or two of your favourites nominated above as being omitted, I will freely admit don't ring a bell, so the world shaking may have been very local....... One obvious album with a multi-national reputation that seems to be overlooked, is *Carla Bley's Escalator Over The Hill.* Edited by Dick Heath - August 06 2006 at 07:24

	Oh yes I agree, what the hell has happened to this thread, why has it been moved? This is mindless unnecessary movement. Surely jazz rock is part of PA, and what will influenced prog music generally?

	Giant Steps is top 5 in my opinion, so is Time Out.

	A very helpful thread. Sun Ra is brilliant. Isn't he one of the archive related artists on the list as well? Listneing to Coltrane's Impressions right now. Impressive!
