And the answer is . . . . Charles Lloyd.
Michel got it. I would have never guessed. I suppose he was hot then with the album Forest Flower. It came in second for record of the year behind . . . Miles Smiles. Somehow, in the voting for Jazzman of the Year, Don Ellis came in fourth place, behind Lloyd, Ellington and Buddy Rich. Immediately after Ellis were Ornette Coleman, Miles Davis, Stan Getz and Sonny Rollins. Fo figure.

Hmmm, Coltrane in the year before his dead? I dont think so, but McCoy Tyner perhaps ?

I’m going to let the guessing continue without comment. I’ll post the answer in the morning. Obviously, if you can’t wait there’s Google.

Cheated too. I really would have never gotten that (was born in ’79). On a side note when did Jimmy Smith not “win” for best organist.
