Founded in 1958 as a 501(c)3 PRESS QUOTES

¡ “The 62nd 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, 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 and ’s piano and acoustic bass duo in Dizzy’s Den on Saturday night, which gave the audience a softer, timeless 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. 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 . 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 FEATURE YOUR BRAND Rich Legacy.
