Before Nov 2020, grades range from 5 stars to 3.5 stars. After that, grade range is: 10 (A+), 9.5 (high A), 9 (A), 8.5 (high A-), 8 (A-), 7.5 (high B+), 7 (B+). Ungraded albums are honorable mention :-), neutral :-|, negative :-(. At least 3 listens per album. Search "Grade Post" for more info. [I shelved/sold 10,000-12,000 albums before starting this blog and will add entries for some of those as they come up. If you don't see an album, it doesn't mean I don't know it.]

Art Blakey - Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers with Thelonious Monk: 4 stars
Not sure why I got this, since it doesn't seem universally acclaimed. I think it's because it's one of the handful of albums that has been a "crown" album in every issue of the Penguin Jazz Guide.
