About this album

Recorded Live At The Monterey Jazz Festival captures John Handy at his most expansive and immediate, turning a festival appearance into a landmark modal jazz statement. Issued in 1966, the set showcases the alto saxophonist’s strong melodic instincts and the loose, searching interplay that made his work at Monterey stand out. Handy’s band stretches material like Spanish Lady and If Only We Knew into vivid, build-and-release performances that balance lyricism with freedom. The recording helped cement Handy’s reputation beyond the more hard-bop lanes of the era and remains one of his best-known live documents.
