hi-ho jazzoids

Just a note: the music editors at Amazon just published a surprisingly well-rounded (even for net-media) list of the 100 "greatest Jazz albums of all time", with Ornette at a shocking #1 and John Zorn at (of course) #23. Cecil's only at 54, but I'm not grumbling. I'm extra impressed they put Brax, Ayler, Moondog, & Sun Ra on there, surely a sign of receding jazz-revisionism. Fascists.
