Today's groups are playing charts that in the sixties, no one could have touched. Both technique ofan H. Coufsaxophone. and ability are much better."

"I think in many ways, the festival has mirrored the Tony Campise development of jazz in the last two decades. In the early days it was mostly big bands, swing, sort of a Grover Washington, Jr. Kenton-isn style. From there they moved into free form, which has disappeared today too. For a period, a lot of people were into rock quite heavily, whereas today, we see mostly straight-ahead jazz and bop with some fusion involved. This mirrors the jazz scene in general in a way. But there always seems to be a good mix of styles and directions - some bands with very complicated arrangements, others very loose and basic, with all kinds of shadings in between."
