Boston Globe: Revisiting Monterey jazz

Postby Bud on 06 Sep 2007, 03:05

The festival, which marks its 50th anniversary Sept. 21-23, is changing that with a new record label that just debuted five discs of extraordinary, never-before-released live performances from icons Louis Armstrong, Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie, Thelonious Monk, and Sarah Vaughan. A sixth disc compiles noteworthy tracks from more recent festivals with Diana Krall, Jimmy Witherspoon, and a lost recording of "Someday My Prince Will Come" from the Dave Brubeck Quartet.

Thanks for the heads up, Bud. The six disks sound very tempting. I note especially that they have Sarah Vaughn from the 1971 festival performing "I Remember You." A few months ago (rather than a few kisses, ;) ) I checked out snippets of this song performed by umpteen different artists. To my ear, the only two on a par with Diana were Sarah Vaughn and Ella Fitzgerald. Pretty nice company to be running in, needless to say.

Every day, to myself I say,
Point the way, what would it be?
I ask myself what's the best thing for you,
And myself and I seem to agree,
That the best thing for you would be me. ... :)
