connoisseur series500 Posted May 7, 2003 Report Posted May 7, 2003 (edited) This is the first of three polls with the idea of determining Organissimo members' favorite Conn. Vote for your favorite Conn from the list provided. Remember that there will be two more polls with 20 further choices. (We can only list ten at one time) The top four selections here will advance to a "playoff poll" with three other selections each from the other two polls. Then we will be able to pinpoint the best Conn by popular vote! I culled these selections from the above-mentioned thread. One cannot rule out favoritism but I tried to list cds which were frequently mentioned by board members as being amonst their favorite Conns. It is important that other members create the other two polls as my own favorites will inevitably creep into the picture. Actually, four of the cds in this poll were named as my personal top five, so you see, biasness is always there. Can't help it, I guess. I nominate Rooster Ties to create a second poll, and hope that another member will take it upon himself to create the third. Please refer to the "5 Favorite Conn" thread to select the remaining 20, as we endeavor to nominate those titles which were named by more than one contributor as being amongst their favorites. Thanks in advance for contributing. Edited May 7, 2003 by connoisseur series500 Quote
connoisseur series500 Posted May 7, 2003 Author Report Posted May 7, 2003 After discussing things with Rooster Ties, we decided that I should just form the three polls. This has now been accomplished. Feel free to vote everyone! Quote
David Ayers Posted May 7, 2003 Report Posted May 7, 2003 You guys are so democratic!! But does it really need a POLL to discover that TRUE BLUE is the most outstanding of all the cons??!!?? Quote
David Ayers Posted May 7, 2003 Report Posted May 7, 2003 PS its ok to list Basra I suppose (and topical) BUT surely Basra is the greatest J(apan only)RVG - people shouldn't be voting for it as a conn. It's not fair!! Quote
Morganized Posted May 7, 2003 Report Posted May 7, 2003 Query the accuracy of the poll when many of the Conn.'s listed are long OOP and UNAVAILABLE, at least for those of us not willing to pay ridiculous prices! Still a fun exercise in futility! We can only hope for Blue Note to get the message and re-issue many of these great dates. In fact, maybe we should only vote for those long OOP and send the results to Tom. You think then maybe BN would RVG some of these great sets? Probably not........................Oh well. I'll play along. Quote
AfricaBrass Posted May 7, 2003 Report Posted May 7, 2003 I agree. It would be very wise of BN watch these polls to see which Conns they should re-released as RVG's. Maybe Kevin can give the results to Michael Cuscuna when he talks to him. Everybody should have the ability to buy Tina Brooks' True Blue. I really love that album. I just wish I could vote for more than one item. :rsmile: Quote

I'll play along. Appreciate your participation. Don't forget that there are two other polls as well, and the winners advance. Top four will advance from this bracket. So your "fav" only has to be in the top four to move on. One strategy may be to vote for one you like but you think doesn't have much chance to advance, while not voting for one you like but you know is likely to advance anyway. Have fun! Quote
connoisseur series500 Posted May 7, 2003 Author Report Posted May 7, 2003 This one was easy for me: my all time favorite: BASRA Keep it going guys; it's an interesting battle in all polls. Quote
David Ayers Posted May 7, 2003 Report Posted May 7, 2003 uhhh uhh uhh - but really we are all lsitening to the JRVG of Basra so it shouldn't count!!! Quote
connoisseur series500 Posted May 7, 2003 Author Report Posted May 7, 2003 Wow, maybe this wasn't so easy. This bracket is the Blue Note version of the AFC Eastern Division in the NFL: every opponent is tough! Competition is rough here. Quote
connoisseur series500 Posted May 7, 2003 Author Report Posted May 7, 2003 uhhh uhh uhh - but really we are all lsitening to the JRVG of Basra so it shouldn't count!!! Actually, mine is the Conn, but it shouldn't matter. Are some listening to True Blue TOJC? Quote
connoisseur series500 Posted May 7, 2003 Author Report Posted May 7, 2003 19 votes in so far and it is an interesting race. Big Ben says VOTE!! Quote
Noj Posted May 7, 2003 Report Posted May 7, 2003 Three threads worth of music I want to get. I've got a long way to go. :rsmile: Quote
Big Al Posted May 7, 2003 Report Posted May 7, 2003 Voted for TRUE BLUE wishing that JUDGEMENT was in one of the other polls. Like THAT would make life any easier! Quote
BruceH Posted May 8, 2003 Report Posted May 8, 2003 Hey! For once the one that I vote for is actually winning. What a feeling! It's close, but with only one vote allowed, I had to go for True Blue, probably one of my favorite Blue Notes. Time to RVG the damn thing! The people (of Oganissimo) have spoken!! Quote
