I'm pretty standard -50's-70's classic jazz-lots of Coltrane, Miles and their sidemen, Chick Chorea, Herbie,  Art Blakey, Joe Henderson, Ornette Coleman etc. The big ones everyone likes. In recent history I like Pat Metheny and Brad Mehdlau. I don't go a whole lot deeper than that. I could easily listen to Miles and Coltrane for the rest of my life as far as Jazz goes and call it a day.

Convulse/World without God
Inquisition/ Bloodshed Across the Empyrean Altar Beyond the Celestial Zennith
Lingua Ignota-Sinner Get Ready
Schoenberg/Pierre Boulez conducts-weird but surprisingly accessible avant garde choral music

Trying to get my wife to appreciate jazz more. Oddly enough, she is partial more to satanic goat metal than classical or jazz. I know, I married well.

Sketches of Spain is top 3 for me from Miles, right after Kind of Blue and Bitches' Brew. Great chill late night listening. I need to improve my vinyl Miles collection. I had 30+ albums on CD at one point, but they found a new home somehow. Hope that person is enjoying them.
As for top 5 Jazz albums...man I agree with you. Almost impossible to do a ranked list, but if I had to
1) Miles Davis - Kind of Blue
2) Bill Evans - Sunday at the Village Vanguard
3) Dave Brubeck - Time Out
4) Mahavishnu Orchestra - Birds of Fire
5) John Coltrane - A Love Supreme
*6) Charlie Mingus - Mingus Ah Um
That's leaving a ton of great albums out by Eric Dolphy, Thelonious Monk, Ornette Coleman, Return To Forever, Art Blakely, Duke Ellington, Count Basie....I could go on for quite a while.
And I did enjoy those first few Mastodon albums. I think they lose me after Once More Around the Sun.
Anyway, today we are preparing to be rocked like a hurricane. Fortunately, our girl Ida is headed slightly west of us, but I don't trust that bitch. One small hiccup to the east and we will get the brunt. Fingers crossed (and generator gassed up). It's overcast and miserable outside, so some drab music is in order to match.
Opeth - Blackwater Park
Opeth - The Roundhouse Tapes

You can also add anything by Diana Krall and Eva Cassidy to the list!
 
…next up…
UADA - Djinn
Valravn - Prey

G.B.H. - Midnight Madness And Beyond...1986
 
Broken Bones - Dem Bones, 1984, Tony "Bones" Roberts band when he left Discharge
 
 
Discharge - Grave New World, 1986, this album got a ton of hate from the hardcore punks because they "sold out" and went heavy metal on them but honestly even with the horrible high pitched vox (they're really bad) I still kinda like this record
 
Discharge - End of Days, 2016, sorta sounds like a combo of DIscharge and Bones
 
 
 
Just occurred to me that our boy Navy looks a bit like current Discharge vocalist JJ Janaik (in front holding the beer) if you shaved off his mini mohawk and he grew a little goatee.

I don't know how the computers decide exactly where these hurricanes are going to track. Last weekend they had Henri headed straight for Long Island, I heard from a friend they were recommending a voluntary evacuation of Fire Island in anticipation of the storm surge.
But then in the morning we saw that he had veered a little bit east overnight and made landfall on the RI-CT border. We still got a ton of rain even all the way out here in northwestern Jersey 90 minutes from the city, some towns east of me and parts of NYC got over 10 inches between Saturday night and Sunday.
Pictures I'm seeing of Ida's track look like a curve ball where she'll kinda drift west today and tomorrow and then once she hits land Sunday in LA she'll hook right around you back to the east. I wouldn't trust that bitch either. Batton down the hatches and good luck dude!

.....since I brought up "Kind Of Blue" earlier....
MILES DAVIS - Kind Of Blue
.....easily in my top 10 favourite jazz records of all time....probably in the top 5....
....rating jazz records is very difficult for me.....next to impossible to narrow down my choices....maybe I'll have to try and make a list sometime....not that anyone could give a shit but me....

....yeah...I agree about "Someday My Prince Will Come"....it gets overlooked a lot....many peeps always go directly to "Kind Of Blue" or "Bitches Brew" or even "Birth Of The Cool"....all completely understandably so....but I find myself listening to this more and more over the last few years....Miles was at the height of his expression with this record and it has intimacy that even "Kind Of Blue" lacked overall ...I really like Hank Mobley on this record very much although my favourite track, the title track has Coltrane on saxophone, recorded just before he left the quintet....
 
MILES DAVIS - Sketches Of Spain
 
....also....nice to see MASTODON on your playlist....they seem to get a ton of hate, but I have always enjoyed them quite a lot....

Nice choice on Miles. One of my favorites by far.
Today:
Mastodon - Crack the Skye
Red Fang - Murder the Mountains
High on Fire - Death is this Communion
Witchcraft - Legend

MILES DAVIS - Someday My Prince Will Come
 

Frank Zappa - You Are What You Is

Fantastic. I LOVE Al, John McLaughlin, & Paco de Lucia's Friday Night in San Francisco too. For anyone who has never heard it, it's mind blowing. Then watch the videos and they will leave you slack jawed.

Stanley Clarke, Al Di Meola, & Jean Luc Ponty - The Rite Of Strings

OFF! - OFF!
ANNIHILATION TIME - Incomplete Discography
A.N.S. - The Pool
FINAL CONFLICT - Ashes To Ashes
 
...... "THRAK" is terrific....one of my favourites, as well.....

Starless And Bible Black is really good... I guess I'd say it comes in just behind Red as far as their 70s stuff goes. But if I'm not listening to Red, I'm almost always reaching for Discipline, Beat, or Three Of A Perfect Pair. Thrak is always fun when I put it on, but for whatever reason I don't connect with it as much as I do the mid 70s and early 80s stuff. Monster lineup in that era of Crimson too, though.
NP: Gentle Giant - Free Hand

KING DIAMOND - The Eye
