Our Take

John Handy's performance at the Monterey Jazz Festival is nothing short of a musical rollercoaster. The album, complete with a bonus track, sees Handy and his band take listeners on a wild journey through genres and emotions, leaving us both exhilarated and exhausted in the best possible way.

From the opening notes of the first track, it's clear that Handy is a master of his craft. His saxophone skills are nothing short of extraordinary, weaving in and out of intricate melodies with ease and finesse. The band behind him provides the perfect backdrop, creating a rich and dynamic sound that is sure to captivate even the most jaded jazz aficionados.

But what really sets this album apart is Handy's willingness to take risks. Tracks like the bonus track, which pushes the boundaries of traditional jazz into uncharted territory, show that Handy is not content to simply rest on his laurels. Instead, he is constantly pushing himself and his band to new heights, resulting in a musical experience that is both exciting and unpredictable.

Overall, John Handy's At The Monterey Jazz Festival is a must-listen for anyone who appreciates top-tier jazz music. With its electrifying energy, masterful musicianship, and willingness to take risks, this album is a testament to Handy's enduring talent and creativity. So sit back, relax, and let John Handy take you on a musical journey you won't soon forget.
