Clifford Brown Memorial Album (Prestige)

Coleman Hawkins, Disorder at the Border (Spotlite)

I attended the Marathons from 2015-2020, six years in a row. In the early years, the venues were mostly fairly close and all in Manhattan. Unfortunately no longer the case, in which case the best strategy is probably just to pick the one venue with the most bands that appeal to you and stay in one place.

Stan Getz in Buenos Aires (RGS)

Dudu Pukwana, Diamond Express

I was entertaining the thought of possibly attending this festival, at least for the Marathons, but I have not arranged it. It will probably be a last minute plan, if I do.

Listening to the CD; the bass recording of Henry Grimes is perfectly fine and clearly audible throughout. Compared to any other Live at Slugs recording I've heard, this has the best sound quality by far. The first CD is fantastic.
