Die Mutter aller Listen – gypsy goes jazz

Hab seit drei Tagen an dieser Liste gearbeitet… und jetzt ist sie mir irgendwie zu wertvoll, als dass sie auf Seite 20 in irgendeinem Thread verschwindet – daher vergebt mir bitte diesen Nabelschau-Thread…

Mein Ziel war es, eine Liste zu erstellen mit ALLEM, was mir im Jazz WICHTIG ist, was ich für ZENTRAL halte und was mir GEFÄLLT. Es handelt sich dabei keineswegs nur um *****-Alben/Aufnahmen, aber die Bewertung tritt bei einem solchen Unterfangen sowieso etwas in den Hintergrund (und ist mir generell nicht so wichtig – ich bin nicht auf der Suche nach den besten Jazz-Aufnahmen sondern erforsche seit über 15 Jahren – was in etwa einem halben Leben gleichkommt – unermüdlich diese mir so wichtige Musik).
Die Liste enthält wohl aber auch nichts, dem ich weniger als **** geben würde – wobei aber keineswegs alle ****-Musik aus meiner Sammlung aufgeführt ist, sonst wäre von Monk, Mingus, Miles, Trane, Ayler, Taylor, Dolphy fast alles in der Liste und einigen anderen, etwa Mobley, Sonny Clark, Grant Green, Bobby Hutcherson, Jackie McLean etc. jeweils ein Dutzend oder mehr.
Kurz: die Liste umfasst die mir persönlich wichtigsten und liebsten Aufnahmen.

Lücken lassen auf mangelnde Vertrautheit meinerseits mit bestimmten Musikern schliessen (Sidney Bechet oder Fats Waller stechen sicher ins Auge, Benny Carters frühe Aufnahmen sind nicht berücksichtigt…) – ich erlaube mir daher, wenn ich diesen Ego-Thread schon mache, später auch gelegentliche Nachbesserungen vorzunehmen.

Ich würde mich natürlich über Diskussionen freuen, und ich beantworte auch gerne Fragen zu den geführten Aufnahmen. Und auch ähnliche Listen sind natürlich willkommen!

EDIT: hier habe ich die ganze Liste nochmal stehen, mit Kommentaren zu den Releases (und einigen weiteren sonstigen Kommentaren, die Pferde gehen ja bekanntlich manchmal mit mir durch, eigentlich wollte ich nur mal die 20er kommentieren…) – weitere Fragen gerne hier im Thread oder anderswo an passender Stelle oder via PN.
