50 Best Jazz Albums Of All Time List


Are not able to draw up lists, its not really in my strings. I have a fear of leaving someone or something out and after thirty seconds flat from the end I want to dismember it and write one from scratch. Its happened again this time, but I thought that would be enough for me forty discs tell my fundamental album for Jazz.

A list in chronological order or importance, but a list of works that have a door wide open until ten years ago was closed as mandate. Each disc has a story to tell, stories of love, of discrimination, of inner search and need to go back to the roots. Art Ensemble Of Chicago, Sun Ra, Archie Shepp, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Don Cherry and the unforgettable Marcello Melis: a list compiled with the heart and with confidence that he still has much to learn.
