PRESS QUOTES

¡ “The 62nd Monterey Jazz Festival will go down in the history books as perhaps the first to navigate the slippery slope of big change with a strong focus on new generations of listeners. The arc stretched wide, with funky electric styles, big band jazz, classic piano-led ensembles, world music, contemporary jazz and beyond. There literally was something for everyone.” –Monterey Herald

¡ “…Tim Jackson has created an important festival entity, which manages to capture an overview of a music which is less a specific or demographically-limited idiom, but a diversified musical world, ever in motion. Monterey continues to be a go-to press report zone on the state of jazz.” –All About Jazz

¡ “Monterey Jazz Festival has so much else to offer, from yummy food options to fun shopping and a warm and friendly atmosphere that is unparalleled among big music events.” –San Jose Mercury News

¡ “It was a terrific start to one of the best weekends of the year.” –San Jose Mercury News

PRESS QUOTES

¡ “One of the most interesting parts of the Monterey Jazz Festival is its willingness for experimentation. While there are still plenty of traditional straight-ahead jazz acts—like that of Kenny Barron and Dave Holland’s piano and acoustic bass duo in Dizzy’s Den on Saturday night, which gave the audience a softer, timeless jazz club feel—many younger artists are bringing different sounds to their sets.”–Monterey County Weekly

¡ “Monterey has a gift for catching giants at the height of their powers. Pianist Kenny Barron and bassist Dave Holland (with drummer Nasheet Waits) played with a flow so organic it erased the distinction between “straight-ahead” and “free-improvised” jazz. Diana Krall turned in an extraordinary yet subdued performance Friday notable for its melancholy mood…” –Seattle Times

¡ “The Miller-Hodge [Mary Lou Williams] project represented a philosophy of marrying tradition and new expression, and increasingly MJF is breaking down boundaries by presenting risk-taking artists who are resolute in evolving the music.” –DownBeat

¡ “The season’s programming was built on a redoubtable foundation with artists-in-residence drummer Allison Miller and bassist/producer Derrick Hodge. They both performed in several disparate settings, but their collaborative Mary Lou Williams tribute on the Jimmy Lyons Stage in the main arena kicked off the festival with a stellar only-in-Monterey moment.” –JazzTimes

¡ “…the 62nd Monterey Jazz Festival exemplified all of the festival’s multifarious strengths and its newfound leadership in programmatic gender equity…” –San Francisco Classical Voice
