The 10 Greatest Jazz Albums of All Time

If you look up a single best of list, that list could be heavily influenced by the author's bias. We don't think that's entirely fair, so what we like to do for our "Best of" lists is to scour the internet for multiple other rankings and then combine them all into one mega list. This way, not only do we get highly ranked lists, but it can also show the consistency of the rankings. If something ranked highly #1 on only 1 list, and doesn't appear in any others,  how great could it be? So what we did was find the "Best of" lists from publications, websites, fan polls and more, and then combine them all into one cumulative ranking. And here they are, the the 10 greatest jazz albums of all time:

1. Miles Davis - Kind of Blue
2. John Coltrane - Love Supreme
3. Dave Brubeck Quartet - Time Out
4. Ornette Coleman - The Shape of Jazz to Come
5. Charles Mingus - Mingus Ah Um
6. Cannonball Adderley - Something Else
7. Sonny Rollins - Saxophone Colossus
8. Charles Mingus - Black Saint and the Sinner Lady
9. Wayne Shorter - Speak No Evil
10. Stan Getz & João Gilberto - Getz/Gilberto
