Cal Tjader: Live at the Monterey Jazz Festival 1958-1980
by David Rickert
Cal Tjader began his career as a stalwart member of the West Coast jazz scene, swinging his vibes through breezy versions of standards with the likes of Vince Guaraldi and Stan Getz.

Dave Brubeck: Live at the Monterey Jazz Festival 1958-2007
by David Rickert
If there is any artist perfectly suited to jazz festivals, it's pianist Dave Brubeck. He gained notoriety through playing for eager tweed jacketed undergrads at college concert halls instead of for barflies at dingy clubs and recorded a few hit songs without losing his jazz cred. It makes sense, then, that Brubeck has performed several times ...
Shirley Horn Trio: Live At the 1994 Monterey Jazz Festival
by Joel Roberts
No jazz singer ever sang as softly and slowly and with such subtle command as Shirley Horn. Her voice often just above a whisper, she forced audiences to hush up and pay attention as she delivered lyrics without flash or pretense, but with a knowing sense of life lived and dues paid.

Miles Davis: Miles Davis: Live at the 1963 Monterey Jazz Festival
by Samuel Chell
This recording is so fresh and alive sonically and so rich and rewarding musically that forty-five years literally melt away upon hearing it. One doesn't know whether to express gratitude to the producers for releasing a recorded event of such historic significance and rare beauty, or annoyance at those responsible for keeping it on ice for ...
