He features as Boston based sideman on the Serge Chalof box set I purchased.
I suppose a swing musician but the inspiration of Charlie Parker is not far away. On Qobuz.
Charlie Mariano
Another Serge Bostonian
He eventually moved on to more exotic sounds like Yusef. He could have run a whole ECM sub label. But that’s not for me.

Been listening to some of the albums you posted.
Have listened to Charlie Hadden a while now and like his bass playing and so far enjoying Hampton Hawes.

Great and rare recording session in Paris. But I don’t like how it has been mixed up. To my ears Kenny Clarke is sometimes too dominant with his drums. His beat almost hurts a bit at some points of the recording,

I am not familiar with the recording nor can I find it on Qobuz.
It would be unthinkable that such a distinguished drummer was at fault. Is it not more likely to be either venue or recording engineer?
