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

Charles Mingus - Mingus at Monterey

Hard to find 1964 set played at the Monterey Jazz Festival. This was originally released on Mingus' own Jazz Workshop label, and has been re-released, with the estate's blessing, on a 2LP version from Candid.

Well worth hunting down.

We dig the bicycle-powered stage at #NewportFolk Festival. Our daughter is there again this year, and wherever she goes, she has an eye out for bicycles, to share bike buzz with us. She sent us this video clip from Newport today: #IlliterateLight

Here's a story about the NFF bike stage written by Ryan Belmore: "Illiterate Light bringing their bicycle-powered stage back to Newport Folk Festival" - https://whatsupnewp.com/2023/07/illiterate-light-bringing-their-bicycle-powered-stage-back-to-newport-folk-festival/

We're waiting for #MontereyJazzFestival, #CaliRoots, or other live music events in #MontereyCounty to make use of bicycle power too!
