# Event Details

- **Event Name**: The Marr Sessions - John Coltrane "Blue Train"
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 22 Jan, 2026 at 07:00 pm – Thu, 22 Jan, 2026 at 08:00 pm
- **Event Description**: The Marr Sessions... a new series at The Listyning Room brought to you by C4RM.org and the Marr Sound Archives housed at the UMKC Library.  Our first Marr Sessions program features an exremely rare and highly sought after Blue Note Mono first pressing of Blue Train from John Coltrane, in honor of Coltrane's 100th Birthday in 2026.  

The Marr Sessions represent a unique synergy between the preservation of music history and the art of modern listening. This program bridges the gap between the Marr Sound Archives at UMKC—one of the nation's premier repositories of recorded sound—and the Center for Recorded Music (C4RM), which is dedicated to the social and technical impact of audio. While the archives provide the "raw material" of history in the form of rare, physical artifacts, The Listyning Room provides the "lens" through which to experience them, utilizing a world-class, high-fidelity sound system featuing equipment by Audio Note, Klipsch, and Cambridge Audio, that brings these vintage recordings to life with startling clarity.

This collaboration is particularly powerful because it transforms what is often a solitary research activity into a communal, sensory event. By bringing rare recordings out of the climate-controlled vaults and into a purpose-built social space, C4RM and UMKC are making Kansas City’s deep musical heritage accessible and visceral. It allows the public to not just learn about the past, but to hear it exactly as it was meant to be heard, fostering a deeper connection to the artists and engineers who shaped our cultural landscape.

We begin with an introduction by staff from the Marr Sound Archives and then play the full album. Doors open at 6:30pm with music in the air.

Your $10 Donation supports Center For Recorded Music 501(c)(3) and includes admission, complimentary snacks and beverages including soft drinks, flavored waters, and 1 complimentary adult beverage from a great selection of beer, wine, mixed drinks, and NA options.
