Handy, John

Recorded Live At The Monterey Jazz Festival
Sealed 1965 360 Stereo Original. Promo Stamp On Back Cover. Top Recommendation. “John Handy's Performance At The 1965 Monterey Jazz Festival Was A Sensation And Arguably The High Point Of His Career. The Altoist, Using A Quintet That Included Violinist Michael White, Guitarist Jerry Hahn, Bassist Don Thompson, And Drummer Terry Clarke (All Of Whom Were Young Unknowns At The Time), Played Two Lengthy Songs: The 27-Minute "If Only We Knew" And "Spanish Lady," Which Lasts A Mere 19 And A Half Minutes. After A Brief Theme, "If Only We Knew" Mostly Features Unaccompanied Solos. Handy's Opening Statement Immediately Quieted The Crowd, Which Was Amazed By The Altoist's Courage And The Logic Of The Advanced Yet Tonal Music. "Spanish Lady" Also Has A Long Handy Statement And Builds Up To A Very Exciting Conclusion. Even Over Three Decades Later, The Music Sounds Fresh, Colorful, And Innovative……” Scott Yanow, AMG.
