Jazz in Atlanta?

[jimclark68]

Southern bretheren - I'm going to be in Atlanta over Memorial Day at a conference downtown. Any good suggestions for catching some good music? I've got jazz in my title, but really, any suggestions are welcome, especially if a fellow TBer is involved.

The Atlanta Jazz Festival is that weekend. It's free and Benny Golson, McCoy Tyner and a bunch of other people will be there. Here's the site:

Also part of the festival, but not free, is the Clarke/Duke Project with Marcus Miller. That's at Chastain Park on May 27 and I think it's $30.

Thanks Tom, that looks like a great event. I'm definitely going to check it out. I think the Sheraton is right near where I'm staying, so I'll check out the late-night jame sessions if nothing else.
