- Sonny Rollins, "Freedom Suite" for the sheer energy and twists and turns- Roach and Pettiford; Nina Simone's first album- "Little Girl Blue;" Miles Davis "Bye, Bye Blackbird" for Trane's solo on the title tune; "Jazz at Massey Hall" with Diz, Bird, Mingus, Bud Powell, and Max Roach- serious stuff and lots of fun;

No Dolphy
- I would have to include Eric dolphy's seminal "out to Lunch". Easily one of the greatest and most influential albums in the history of the music.

My Best Jazz Albums of All Time
- Miles, of course. Kind of Blue, Bitches Brew, Sketches of Spain with Gil Evans and their other collaborations, Dingo and Doo Bop. Doo Bop was Miles last album, he died in hospital. Thankfully, 90% of the tracks had been recorded. Bird, all of his albums, no exception; Chet Baker in Tokyo, his first West Coast recordings, Coltrane, My Favorite Things, Trane and Miles, Trane and Johnny Hartman in Lush Life, Thelonius Monk's Round Midnight, All of the Hawk's albums, Cannonball Adderley,Satchmo - George Gershwin's Porgy and Bess. The Duke in Sophisticated Lady and Stan Kenton in Cuban Fire and Artistry in Rhythm. I am partial to Michel Legrand. Indeed, he wrote the score for the film Dingo starring Miles. I could not fail to mention The Diz Gillespie. His Salt Peanuts with Bird is legendary as is his Cole Porter's Night and Day. Art Tatum and Oscar Peterson; always virtuosi.I knew Miles, Chet and Diz quite well. I have wrritten extensively in my blog: isabellavacani.blogspot.com about the

Kind of Blue is # 1
- With all due respect, I would have to say that Kind of Blue stands alone and apart as the finest jazz album ever. Each new CD that is released has to be compared to Kind of Blue.

Top Ten Jazz of All Time
- I've seen a survey like this on another site but you had to buy something to respond.(Amazon) The site has its' own set of"experts" that had some very interesting selections and omitions. I've come to the concllusion that any list of 'best of' any category is mostly subjective. However, with that being said, Miles davis Kind Of Blue is the greatest selling jazz album of all time and also the most influential so that is numer one in my book. I first received this album from Columbia Record Club in 1958 as a 13 year old whose heart and mind was wide open. I knew then it was gereat music and played it 'til it wouldn't play any more. I've bought this album with every new edition and type. The only thing I haven't got yet is the book. I keep saying I 'm not gonna do it. This being said I'm going to pick my tt. The other people gave you one hudred to choose. This is always fun. And always changing.

Where's Monk?
- I love your list but, where's Monk? He, as far as I'm concerned, should be before Bill Evans.
