I hope to hear a recording of these arrangements some day. I'm intrigued by the personnel in the sextet and, on another note, lost in a reverie at thoughts of jam sessions at the Vanguard. Who'd show up at such a thing today? Who could be coaxed to?
There were def Jam Sessions at the Vanguard, but to be clear this was at least moderately organized. I’m calling it a jam because the solos are long and nobody is the leader.
Congratulations on the concert and what sounds like an amazing program––hope all your hard work shines in concert, Ethan. Thanks for the first video! It is so much fun watching Duke comping with his right hand! Enjoy!!
