John Handy
's performance at the
1965 Monterey Jazz Festival
was a sensation and arguably the high point of his career. The altoist, using a quintet that included violinist
Michael White
, guitarist
Jerry Hahn
, bassist
Don Thompson
, and drummer
Terry Clarke
(all of whom were young unknowns at the time), played two lengthy songs: the 27-minute
"If Only We Knew"
and
"Spanish Lady,"
which lasts a mere 19 and a half minutes. After a brief theme,
mostly features unaccompanied solos.
Handy
's opening statement immediately quieted the crowd, which was amazed by the altoist's courage and the logic of the advanced yet tonal music.
"Spanish Lady"
also has a long
statement and builds up to a very exciting conclusion. Even over three decades later, the music sounds fresh, colorful, and innovative. The original
Columbia
LP (which has been long out of print) had reversed the order of the songs and even their titles so this
Koch
CD reissue is very welcome on several levels. Highly recommended. ~ Scott Yanow
