A few weeks ago, in our coverage of the ‘Summer of Love’, we dedicated one program to the Monterey Pop Festival, a key event in the development of pop music history. What many people do not know, however, is that Monterey had already been hosting a Jazz Festival for years before then.
Recently, a batch of some the Jazz Festival’s most interesting performances have been made available on CD, and they are incredible, not only for the quality of the performances themselves but also for the stellar clarity of the production. Louis Armstrong, Miles Davis, Thelonius Monk, Dizzy Gilllespie and Sarah Vaughan all have disks that feature previously unreleased performances, and each of them is a major find for fans of these artists.
To introduce our listeners to the concept of this Jazz Festival, and also to the overall quality of the music they provide, we dedicate today’s show to sampling some of the best that they have to offer.
Here’s a list of songs featured in today’s show;
1) Trinidad, Goodbye - Dizzy Gillespie
2) Back Home Again in Indiana - Louis Armstrong
3) Now You Has Jazz - Louis Armstrong
4) There Will Never Be Another You - Sarah Vaughan
5) Autumn Leaves - Miles Davis
6) Rhythm-a-ning - Thelonius Monk
