I went to the Ann Arbor Jazz Festival in September, 1978. The lineup was:
Thursday night: Mary Lou Williams and Ronnie Boykins, duets; Max Roach Quartet; Stan Getz: Archie Shepp and Max Roach, duets.
Friday night: Johnny Griffin, Dexter Gordon; Johnny Griffin and Dexter Gordon together; Freddie Hubbard
Saturday night: Kenny Burrell; Stanley Turrentine; Sun Ra and his Arkestra
Sunday afternoon: Marcus Belgrade and the II-V-I Orchestra (with a teenage Kenny Garrett as a featured soloist); Chico Freeman; Hubert Laws
Sunday night: Ellington Orchestra conducted by Mercer Ellington; Mose Allison; Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers.

Before it was cancelled I was planning to travel to New Orleans to Jazz Fest, mostly to see this group on October 9:
Cookers feat. Billy Harper, Eddie Henderson, Donald Harrison, David Weiss, George Cables, Cecil McBee and Billy Hart
There were many other worthy artists scheduled that weekend. I love the variety of New Orleans food served on the festival grounds too.

Why was Oscar Peterson a star and not Jaki Byard or Phimeas Newborn, Jr.?
Popularity beyond the core of jazz fanatics seems to be very unpredictable.
I saw Dexter and Sonny Stitt live in the late 1970s. Sonny sat on a stool and never spoke. If the club owner had not shouted often between songs about how lucky we were to have the great Sonny Stitt with us, he could have gone almost unnoticed.
Dexter commanded the room, and the 2,000 seat auditorium in which I saw him live twice. He had a way of talking between songs which seemed tongue in cheek but was appealing and sometimes funny. He stood tall and you had to look at him. I saw 2,000 college students become captivated by his performances and they gave him loud ovations.

What's the monthly charge?
It is hard to say what it would be just for LPs. I also have furniture, thousands of books, thousands of CDs, office papers, my audiophile stereo system, Christmas decorations, sports memorabilia and clothes in the unit. So it is a really big unit. I could have a much smaller, less expensive unit if I was storing just music. It would be $100 a month or less most likely if I had just my LPs and CDs in there.

Yeah, I'd have to tell her why don't you stay glued to YOUR smartphone screen like a "normal person" and that way you don't have to see any of my records.
I like that. She is far too fierce to actually approach that way!

Now that is more like my collection, only it is currently in a climate controlled underground limestone cave storage unit.

That looks great HutchFan. I like the thing you’ve done with the shelfs. Only artist unknown to me is Claudio Roditi.
I put on Interstellar Space, Albert Ayler and then the JCO and my wife immediately insisted I got my man cave
You don’t have to expose them all on the wall
Oh, my significant other is a wonderful woman but she never wants to see a single album. She often says, "why don't you just listen to music on a smartphone like a normal person?"

Since I have many boxes full of vinyl, almost all purchased between 1970- 2010, I could never put all my vinyl on a wall. There are thousands of vinyl records.
Also, my significant other does not like literally any of my music. She does not want to ever hear it, and definitely does not ever want to see it!

Summary update:
Identified 100% - Songs 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 14 & 15
Partially ID'd:
#7 - Song & album unnamed, band ID'd
#11 - Song & album unnamed, Tenor player is Frank Wess
#12 - Just need the song title as everything else is pretty much ID'd
#13 - Song & album unnamed, Charles McPherson on alto
Unidentified - Songs 3 & 9
If @Hot Ptah weighs in, I'm betting he can get #3 with no problem.
I'm going to remain with the hints I've given so far for #9 at the moment. It's only June 3rd so plenty of time for more listening/guesses.
Love reading the takes so far. Appreciate yall giving an ear and time for commentary.
I listened to #3 and I have no idea who it is.

I'll take the plunge and do November.
Ok you have November.

I've almost got June's put together, however in paring down the tracklist I've got some spillover that I could weave into another BFT. Unless others want to sign up for one of the open months of September or November, I'll be happy to step in. Just let me know.
Up to this point in BFT history, we have always had one BFT per person per year only. I will keep your idea in mind but it is more likely that your spillover should be used for a 2022 BFT. i appreciate your interest and enthusiasm.

Finally got a copy of the set, don't notice too much of a difference with the reverb on the first three albums, but those last two...yeah, this is so much better. I like the original's sond, but this is nice and clear, sounds like a big band instead of a "big band record", if you know what I mean.
And no matter what else, Richard Davis is Mr. Smile Inducer all over this thing, and Mel is his ginning co-conspirator. God bless 'em both for being there and doing that.
Yes, Richard Davis’ work here is incredible.

I saw the Al DiMeola/Stanley Clarke/Lenny White group live in 1975 and 1976. I also saw Chick live as a solo pianist, in duet with Gary Burton (several times, once when they were joined by Gayle Moran), and with the excellent Origin group.
-
Great BFT. I enjoyed it immensely and then got a huge work project in and could not comment on each track as I surely would have done.
-
After reading this Reveal I tried to order Mirage by the Awakening on CD. It is expensive!
-
This is a wonderful BFT. I have been using it as a personal playlist, on a ten hour car ride for example. It is one of the most consistently enjoyable BFTs of all time for me.
Having said that, I cannot identify anyone on it!
Track 1 is particularly fantastic. This is just the kind of music I love. I am buying this one as soon as I read the Reveal.
I have had a terribly busy month at work but if I get a few hours off before the Reveal, I will post my general impressions of each track.
-
The Professor Longhair tracks are among the best in his career, in my opinion.
-
My favorite George Adams albums are Charles Mingus’ Changes One and Changes Two, Paradise Space Shuttle, Sound Suggestions, and Hand to Hand (which he co-led with Dannie Richmond).
