Best of Chicago, New York and NOLA and I'm sure the UK. Never saw Charlie without a hat before. Demands replays.

Lightning reactions from David H to make a rapid instrument change at the start of the first sessions by the Ellingtons.

Most of the videos on my page ‘Atticus Live’ are from Mike Durham's Classical Jazz Party in Whitley Bay (UK), which I have been attending every year since 2012. Although the videos give a good impression, the live concerts at this location cannot be beaten. For more information, please refer to the organisers' website (see below). Make sure to get your tickets in time, because the festival has been very well attended in recent years and has sold out! whitleybayjazzfest.com/
