WALKER BROTHERS scott no regrets polystar 16 songs lp holland '80's 70's rar. RONALD SHANNON JACKSON / MANDANCE / JAZZ / POLYSTAR JAPAN.
So now I'm going to quote myself, from my older post of:Years ago, there was a similar discussion somewhere about great jazz albums of the '70s, and I put together my own list and posted it on New Loft's old. I went back to the Myspace graveyard to see if it was still there; they've revamped the site, and while some of our old content is still there, it looks like they blasted the blog portion. So I need to do some archaeology and find out if I've got that list floating around anywhere (hopefully with some link back to the original list that prompted it-it may be been some jazz board discussion).Turns out it wasn't that hard at all to find it in my old files. The list was made back in 2006, as a response to an article/list by Ethan Iverson on great jazz records issued between 1973 and 1990. (That original article is no longer available on the web; at least, the link I had for it is dead, and the Wayback Machine from archive.org didn't have it either.
However, in my 2006 post, I also referenced two other responses, which are still available and are quite nice: 's, and 's.)It looks like I was restricting myself to vinyl, as you can tell from my older comments:I've been enjoying the discussion of great jazz recordings from 1973 to 1990 that's been going on recently in various blogs. It started here, at 'Do The Math':he asked for more, and got tons of responses, including these: he closed down the invitation before I got a chance to respond!

Well, since I love lists, and I also have a lot of vinyl from this era, when I really started getting into jazz in earnest, I'm just gonna go ahead and post my list here. I am not gonna have enough time to write comments on every single album, and this list is far from complete, it's just some faves. And it's vinyl only, and since I've sold a fair amount of records over the years as I've gotten them on CD (heresy? Yes, probably), it's really far from complete.
As you can see, my list starts to taper off in the mid-'80s, because that's when I started buying more CDs.So, here's my 2006-compiled list of great jazz LPs that I have from 1973 to 1990:1973 Art Ensemble of Chicago Fanfare for the Warriors1973 Ornette Coleman Dancing in Your Head1973 Santana Welcome1973 Joe Henderson Multiple1973 Dave Holland Conference of the Birds1973 Human Arts Ensemble Under the Sun1973 Chris McGregor's Brotherhood of Breath Live at Willisau I was thrilled to see this on a couple of other lists. This is a great live album, brimming with ideas and energy.
