I went to the inaugural Hudson (NY) jazz festival yesterday. Curated by Armen Donelian. Thomas Chapin's sister-in law, a film director by trade, has been working on a documentary about him for quite a while. The film is intended to be commercially released in late March. I saw a preview showing of it yesterday. Very moving. Includes concerts. Opens and closes with a set he did with his trio at Newport in 1995.

I am planning to seeing Ricky Ford on February 23rd. I noticed that he does not appear to have a website so I thought I would list those concerts below that I found (easily) on the Internet: Friday, February 23, 2018, he is appearing in Greenfield, Ma for Jazz Shares: www.jazzshares.org Saturday, February 24, 2018, he is at the Side Door Jazz Club in Old Lyme, Ct. http://thesidedoorjazz.com/.

There are several Venus 2 cd sets that package previously released cds and that do not have the "controversial" covers. For instance, Shepp's French Ballads (or Deja Vu) is combined with True Ballads. Kuhn's blue waltz is combined with the red waltz. The pricing is also better.
