The 2nd John Handy Album by The John Handy Quintet, released on Columbia in 1966.

Review by Scott Yanow

Altoist John Handy's second Columbia album was actually his fourth as a leader. Utilizing the same musicians who had joined him during his sensational set at the 1965 Monterey Jazz Festival (violinist Michael White, guitarist Jerry Hahn, bassist Don Thompson and drummer Terry Clarke), Handy performs five of his complex yet accessible originals, which include the "Theme X" (in 5/4 time), the catchy "Blues for a Highstrung Guitar," and the adventurous "Scheme #1."

Recorded Live at the Monterey Jazz Festival is a live album by saxophonist John Handy, recorded in 1965 and released in 1966...The original album only features two long instrumental pieces, notable for their "free form", a peculiar use of harmonies and unusual instruments.

The album is mentioned in Charles Burnett's 1995 short film When It Rains. Music critic Ralph J. Gleason called the lineup on the album "an exciting group and one of that will make jazz history".

This album is number 67 in a list titled "The 100 Jazz Albums That Shook the World", published by Jazzwise. - Wikipedia
