We've completed our first round of submissions/voting on Discord, and we now have 19 finalists for our Patreon round of voting.

Pick up to 6 of your preferred songs! 

**Note a mistake that I now can't change...the Jazz Sabbath song is Iron Man***

This poll will go through Sunday the 25th. Happy voting!

Just to re-iterate the comment in the intro, the Jazz Sabbath track is a version of the Black Sabbath track Iron Man (done in a trad jazz style)

Gary Thobaben

That Sufjan tune is soul crushing. That whole record is incredible.

Tamás Polyák

Madrigal is okay, but IMHO Wonderous Stories is a much better song. Madrigal suffers from the Tormato syndrome, it's got good ideas but they are underdeveloped.

I said, in my write-up, how hard it was to write about it. Because I had to stay engaged with this sad, sad story.

Gary Thobaben

The best jazz version of a Sabbath tune is the Iron Man by The Bad Plus. Worth a listen.

George Davis-Stewart

If I were a Discord type then I might have proposed John Fahey or Larry Coryell or Tony Geballe or The League Of Crafty Guitarists, or just plain old Loudon Wainwright III. Still, some of these work for me, so my choices are made. Thanks, folks - and Doug!

Guitar Channel

For acoustic, folk rock is somewhat underrepresented here. Pentangle, Fairport, Dando Shaft, Mellow Candle, are just a few bands that come to mind. (At least we have Strawbs and Joni Mitchell.)

Eric Warner

I’m so happy to see Sufjan Stevens on this list! I’ve been a fan for 20 years and I love his music so much.

Jan Heerschop

Love the Ayreon song: killer vocals!!

I submitted Rain Song then remembered the Bad Plus, i suggested someone submit comfortably numb or another tune, but no one did.

It’s true, Ray, and I did sign in for a week or ten days before feeling that it was too much of a maze. I’d want to chip in too often for the hours available in my day. Perhaps I was approaching from the wrong direction or mindset… Thanks for inviting me in.

George Davis-Stewart

Perhaps we could have ’compare and contrast’ sessions with Jacques Loussier, Jazz Sabbath, The Crimson Jazz Quartet (led by Ian Wallace), The Nice and anyone else that has not yet crossed my path… It’s a playful exploration to re-imagine music from one genre in another’s time and space.

Sadly I think this genre is too much of a step away from the core content of the channel to gain much interest. Pentangle I regard as folk-jazz and the others you mention are not fully acoustic anyway (electric bass a certainty). Some more recent folk was submitted, such as The Unthanks, the Transatlantic Sessions and my own pick of Garcia and Grisman but none of them got through to this stage. You will also see how poorly the tracks you mentioned are doing.

Guitar Channel
>>130343580

Well, we could nitpick about what's acoustic versus electro-acoustic. Early Pentangle and Dando Shaft are fully acoustic with upright basses. If a guitarist or bassist uses a condenser pick-up, that doesn't make the instrument electric, imo, anymore than a singer using a microphone. Folk rock is typically driven by acoustic instruments and vocals; thus, all the bands I mentioned meet the 'acoustic' standard. Moreover, they are far more important historically than most of groups on the above list, some of which are merely novelties (e.g. Jazz Sabbath).

Alex Libia

In hindsight I should have picked something from Ian Anderson's reworking of Tull Classics from Jethro Tull: The String Quartets . Great arrangements

Marcos de Brum Lopes

Nice that Yamandu and Jan Lundgren made the list. They're gonna need more love here. Give them a listen.
