Liner Notes
The Monterey Jazz Festival was established in 1958 by impressario Jimmy Lyons who has hosted an enormous amount of music at this idyllic location. Against this beautiful seaside setting in Northern California, one spends a pleasant weekend listening to some of the giants of music.
1975 was no exception. The accent has always been on variety and this program documents the special atmosphere of that year. Featured here is a host of performers who are inspired by the company of other fine musicians and the pleasant surroundings. You will see the haunting lyricism of both Bill Evans and Paul Desmond, fine blues singing by Bobby Blue Bland, the spirited bop of Dizzy Gillespie accompanied by Cal Tjader, the very interesting Toshiko Akiyoshi Big Band featuring Clark Terry, the rocking rhythm and blues of Etta James, the delicate swing of Svend Asmussen and a host of other superb musicians.
