Description

|
This copacetic group of A-list musicians came together both on the main stage and in a club setting to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Monterey Jazz Festival, each bringing two tunes to a soulful, conversational session of hard bop. "There was really an electric atmosphere," recalls Dave Holland, "that kind of circular energy that goes on between the musicians and the audience. It's a very powerful thing when it really takes off." All of the players exhibit an intense sense of swing as well as an ease with polyrhythms and unusual time signatures. "Cuban émigré Rubalcaba's '50,' written for the festival milestone, has a nice funky feel, while Harland's 'Maiden' and Potter's 'Minotaur' are a treat. Holland is, simply, a joy to hear anytime, especially on his own 'Step to It' here. This is great live jazz."—Winnipeg Free Press
