The Greatest Jazz Albums of All Time
Any jazz fans on here? I'm working on a list of the greatest jazz albums of all-time on Ranker. For those unfamiliar with Ranker, you can simply give a thumbs up or thumbs down to each album based on whether or not you like it (or just leave it blank if you're not sure). Additionally, anyone can add items that aren't already on the list. I've got about 150 albums on the list but I'm sure there are some I forgot. Any suggestions to add to the list?

Any "list" that doesn't include Kind of Blue by Miles Davis in the top three, if not #1, is worthless.
Kind of Blue is the definitive jazz album of all time. |

As time passes the classic 50's and 60's albums are most likely going to become more and more obscure, even the big names. At least outside of college music departments. It's a shame but it's how it goes.

I'm more of a jazz guitarist lover more so than horns or piano and just about anything by Tal Farlow is awesome, as is Joe Pass and Kenny Burrell and George Benson's Breezin' is one of my all time fav's. There are others like Howard Roberts and Herb Ellis that are excellent, as well as the phenomenal Wes Montgomery. Check out the best of Wes on Spotify. It's awesome. For 70's Jazz-Fushion I really dig Larry Carlton's early work and many of Lee Ritenour's records. There's a whole universe to explore out there on Spotify. Check it out and enjoy! |

I'd say sub in Blue Train as the Coltrane recommendation. Giant Steps is probably a bit of a challenge for someone just starting out.
