Even though he's solid, I'd say that Metheny doesn't really deserve a spot in the top 50 but Exo already has boring ass Coryell so what gives

And no European free jazz either what a ****in poseur. Props for Evolution though, great album. Out to Lunch is better because of Dolphy but Moncur's songwriting fits the rhythm section's style a lot better imo.

I'm more surprised to see none of Pat Metheny's work on a jazz list, but at least he didn't forget Hancock.
OK, if you say so I'll test run his albums again. But as it stands now, I would take Gabor Szabo out and put Emily Remler in his place.

As far as some of the European stuff goes, I love the Tomasz Stanko Quartet but maybe they aren't Top 50 material?

Obviously I would have added more. My list was essential heavy. Once you put all the great Coltrane/Miles on, the list is like 1/4 complete. Here's what I would have added...

The Peter Brötzmann Octet - Machine Gun
Svein Finnerud Trio - Plastic Sun
Alexander von Schlippenbach Trio - Pakistani Pomade

To be honest, I just don't have the knowledge base yet. Teach be you bitch ass hoe.
