Here is another critic's poll, this one listing the top 100 most profound jazz albums of all time yet somehow omitting Jaco's solo debut album Jaco Pastorius /EPIC from the list.
Any thoughts on the matter?

I think 100% of these lists are posted on this site because of a complaint of it. I have never found one that made me happy. Sometimes I get infuriated.

You always get the usual suspects (kind of blue & love supreme #1 & #2 for example), but I find these lists can be useful by introducing you to albums that you haven't heard before, and perhaps should check out. In fact, there's a fair few in this list I should probably try and have a listen to.

You know.....at first I thought maybe this was some jazz purist list...you know just those with the purist, untainted by other influences jazz artists were chosen. THEN I saw Mahavishnu Orchestra and Weather Report and knew that I could not satiate myself with that line of thinking anymore. So the only thing left for me to feel is that it was a major slight.....intentional or not, it was a slight! When the major players in your chosen professional arena unanimously claim that a fellow artist's work is a breakthrough piece that changes the playing field considerably and permanently (many of whom by the way, are on the list), then it doesn't make sense that that same acclaimed work is omitted from a list such as this....does it? It tells me that Jaco ain't yet where he should be in the eyes of the world.
Jaco: You know you've got that tape recorder on Duke Ellington's book!
Interviewer: Which book is that?
Jaco: The only one! |

I understand, and share your frustration. Still, I’m not sure whether any of the albums listed actually met the criteria of the list - ‘Shook the World’.
[[Lot's of good stuff in there. But also a few that I find questionable and even don't know, I do think that I check alot of music out though. Jaco's debut should definitely be on the list. But I won't loose any sleep over it though.
Ditto.

If shake the world means masses, then the list should include Benny Goodman, singers like Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughan.
How about Keith Jarrett´s Standards Trio, I don´t remember if Chick Corea´s Now He sings, now he sobs was included, or any of Brad Mehldau´s trio albums. Pastorius should be there. His debute album stands out, even if Word of mouth or Invitation would fit as well.
Otherwise the list is unusually complete in my opinion.

A list like that only tells one persons opinion I guess.
Lot's of good stuff in there. But also a few that I find questionable and even don't know, I do think that I check alot of music out though. Jaco's debut should definitely be on the list. But I won't loose any sleep over it though. (Since I know "the truth")!

I am inable to look at these kind of lists without it ruining my mood. I hope it is because they don't have any idea who Jaco is. And I think these list should be a collaboration of albumns and not first place, second place, third....
