Firsty, great work Fangedango. A lot of effort has gone into this and it is brilliantly executed. Thank you.
Secondly, it's a great list. I have 46 of the 50 - time to get the other 4.
Jarrett - Koln seems to be the oldest album of the list from 1975. So nothing from the last 36 years. I'm guessing the Armstrong is the earliest.
With nearly 600 albums chosen I'm surprised that I'm the only one who chose a Charles Lloyd album.
