blue note idolatry is out of hand! but i'll bite, as long as I could take other LPs too!
Eric Dolphy - "Out to Lunch" Horace Silver - "Finger Poppin'" Don Cherry - "Symphony For Improvisers" Grachan Moncur III - "Some Other Stuff" Kenny Burrell - "Blue Lights, Vol. 1"
I might switch out the Moncur for a Blakey, perhaps "The Big Beat", depending on my mood when the call to pack for the island went out.

Good question. POint of Departure - aAndrew Hill EVolution - GRachan Moncur Contours - Sam Rivers Out to Lunch - Dolphy Somethin' Else - Cannonball Adderley (because it offers the only means of smuggling both Miles and Adderley in scorchingly good form to one's desert island...) Tomorrow would probably produce a different list. For instance, it would pain me to leave behind the two volumes of Ornette at Golden Circle, Hutch's Dialogue, the other Sam Rivers LPs, Horace Silvers' Song for My Father and a Wayne Shorter or three... But that's why you said 'five', I suppose, rather than simply 'list'.

PS: I can also think of five imaginary Blue Note LPs to take to a real desert island...

PS: I can also think of five imaginary Blue Note LPs to take to a real desert island... Good idea, Alun. I enter the game with the first one:
1. Herbie Nichols Octet – Valse Macabre (Blue Note, 1960) LP.
Herbie Nichols (1919-1963) desperately wanted to somehow realize his own music with strings and winds in larger ensembles. His own catalog includes 170 compositions. However, he managed to record only three 10" LPs for Blue Note and then one LP for Bethlehem, all of them in the trio format only. In real life his dream came true many years after his death due to efforts of ICP Orchestra (Misha Mengelberg, Han Bennink), Roswell Rudd, Buell Neidlinger, and Frank Kimbrough.

Thelonious Monk - The Complete Genius Andrew Hill - Time Lines Duke Ellington - Money Jungle Jackie McLean - It's Time! (Herbie Hancock's playing on this album is phenomenal. Still can't believe AllMusic gave it just 3½ stars!) Herbie Hancock - Speak Like A Child

Duke Ellington - Money Jungle <...> Wasn't this United Artists (and HMV in the UK) and not a Blue Note, jazzhead?

A great suggestion, nicknick... But there's also Mengelberg's two records reinterpreting Nichols (and latterly Monk) on Soul Note: Change of the Season, and Regeneration. Although neither have strings.

And I'll bite with a suggestion of my own for an imaginary Blue Note:
Intergenerational Monk: The New Thelonious Monk Quartet Play Monk Classics
Recorded together only once in 1999 when they all happened to be in Berlin (and by something of a miracle), Monk's new quartet reimagine a series of Monk classics. Personnel: Thelonious Monk, piano; Evan Parker, tenor sax, Barry Guy, bass; Tony Oxley, drums

My suggestion is to be a bit more realistic, Alun, and shift the date back to the beginning of 70s. The session could take place in London (instead of Berlin) during Monk's tour to the UK. Thelonious recorded three LPs there for Black Lion, and he surely could record another one for Blue Note. By the way, I had a chance to see and listen to Evan Parker and Barry Guy in Moscow. Evan played with Alexander von Schlippenbach Trio, and Barry - with Aurora Trio. And Evan will be playing here with Schlippenbach Trio again next Saturday!
Buell Neidlinger Quintet recorded BLUE CHOPSTICKS: A PORTRAIT OF HERBIE NICHOLS (K2B2 Records, 1995) where he used violin, viola and cello.

Duke Ellington - Money Jungle <...> Wasn't this United Artists (and HMV in the UK) and not a Blue Note, jazzhead? Originally, yes, however "United Artists was bought by EMI in 1979, and subsidiary Blue Note Records reissued the album on CD in 1987. This contained more recordings from the same session: four previously unreleased works written for the session, plus two alternative takes. The order presented in this edition was that in which the songs were recorded. The sound quality of the original recording was improved for the 2002 Blue Note CD release by engineer Ron McMaster, using the original tapes and 24-bit remastering, adding clarity to the drums in particular. For this release, the first seven songs were arranged in their original order, with the other four songs and four alternative takes placed afterward, increasing the number of tracks to 15." en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Money_Jungle

Absolutely right, nick -- it is *just* conceivable that they could have met in London during 1971 when Monk was here to record for Alan Bates' Black Lion label (wonderful sets, btw). What a tantalising thought...
