Plätze 1-57 *****
Plätze 58-123 **** 1/2
Plätze 124-212 ****
Beste Neuentdeckungen: Don Cherry`s BN-Alben und Big John Patton
Größte geschlossene Lücken: Bobby Hutcherson mit deutlichen Verbeserungen und starken Neueinstiegen
Platten, die ich ohne das Forum nicht entdeckt hätte: Tyrrone Washington, Eddie Gale, Fred Jackson, Jeremy Steig (allein schon wegen des Covers…) und Bossa Nova Soul Samba, die ich wegen des Titels und meinem Fremdeln mit der Bossa-Mode im Jazz bis dahin gemieden hatte.
Einen herzlichen Dank an alle Empfehlungen aus dem Forum, die dieses Projekt zu einem so spannenden und tollen Erlebnis gemacht haben.
Es fehlt in der Liste leider Herbie Nichols – hier besitze ich nur „The Complete Blue Note Recordings“-Box.
Insgesamt bestätigt sich für mich die hohe Qualität des Gesamtwerks von Blue Note, 212 von 262 Alben in meiner Sammlung erhalten **** oder mehr Sterne und es gibt wenige wirklich niedrige Bewertungen. Das würde bei der geplanten ECM Umfrage dann anders aussehen.
32 BN Alben würden sich nach diesem Update in meiner Jazz Top 100 wiederfinden.

Love goes on anyway!
