Can you name the Jazz artists by their albums listed below?

33/38 I missed the ones I've never heard or don't listen to, Joe Pass, Mahavishnu Orch, Return To Forever, Stanley Clarke, Tony Williams.

Dead easy, apart from three obscure ones.

What was weird about the test is it had some auto-fill thing going on. For some it just filled in the answer before I'd finished typing. Like when I started typing "Wes M..." it went ahead and filled in Montgomery. Convenient. But when I went to type Coleman Hawkins it filled in Ornette Coleman before I'd even read those albums to make the determination.

38/38. It would have been more challenging if they'd included more artists who came to prominence in the 80s or later.

[BruceH]

I didn't get the 70's artists either, but now I feel better about it.

[Johnny E]

I got every one except Billy Cobham and Michael Brecker.

[Teasing the Korean]

I missed all the 70s fusion stuff, not surprisingly.

[EKE BBB]

35/38

Missed Stanley Clarke, Billy Cobham and Michael Brecker.

I'm not too familiar with the discographies of Stanley Clarke, Michael Brecker, or Return to Forever, and missed those. I almost guessed Return to Forever but I'd already filled in Chick Corea and couldn't believe that Return to Forever would also be included, especially with so many important artists missing. Clarke and Cobham also overlap with groups included. A more challenging and representative test might have included albums by Armstrong, George Lewis, etc. and a couple of free jazz pioneers of the generation after Ornette -- just my two cents.
