Description
|
|
|
|
This venerable California festival has played host to jazz's elite, and its 2007 crop was no exception. Nnenna Freelon duets brilliantly with James Moody on "Just Squeeze Me"; Terence Blanchard soars on Milt Jackson's "Monterey Mist" and "Benny's Tune"; and Freelon casts a spell with "Misty" and "Time After Time." "Moody doesn't concede one note to age; he is in thrilling, inventive, unpredictable form on tenor sax, clearly invigorated by the driving, tradition-minded rhythm section and his role as éminence grise…. Everyone in this band is on the same wavelength and having an unfeigned fine time with each other."—All Music Guide
