I m finally getting around to posting this excellent recording I made nearly a month ago of the Mitch Marcus Quintet s first set at this year s Fillmore Street Jazz Festival on June 30, 2007. The band was celebrating the recent release of their new album The Special, and they played a ripping set no doubt. I totally regret not catching the second half, but there was so much going on at the festival, I couldn t help but move along. This performance had the usual lineup of late, with Mitch and Sylvain Carton on the saxes, Mike Abraham on guitar, George Ban-Weiss on double bass, and Jeff Marrs on drums. The quintet also brought in special guest John Gove who blasted out some amazing trombone solos. So don t hesitate to take a listen because this tape came out spectacular, and how about those reflection photographs off the bell of John s trombone and of George off the inside lid of the piano!
