I went for a package of individual concerts. Six, in fact, plus one bought separately. Looking at the schedule again, there's one or two concerts I'd like to add. Totally unnecessary, but I might. The concerts I bought tickets for are:
Handful of Keyes: A Century of Jazz Piano
Elio Villafranca's Letters to Mother Africa
The Jazz Age: Untamed Elegance
The Swing Era: Revolution in Rhythm
Rosa Passos Quartet w. Special Guest Kenny Barron
Lucky Peterson: Roots of Acoustic Blues
'Round Midnight: Monk's Legacy
The first, third and fourth are the JALC Orchestra with special guests. The first and last on that list include performances by Joey Alexander, an amazing thirteen (yes, thirteen) year-old jazz prodigy, who's especially fond of Monk.
The next challenge will be to find someone(s) to go to these with, and to manage my money going forward. The Christmas holidays are coming.
Speaking of Christmas, it came a bit early. Today, I received the absolutely awesome apple cake from the Vermont Country Store (shipped directly from the bakery!) AND the Telefunken Black Diamond tubes. I hope to install them this weekend. Given the weather forecast, I'll be indoors for most of it.
