John Handy documentary
In 1965, John Handy
recorded an album that inspired an ocean of adjectives by
jazz writers all over the world. "Live at Monterey" was the
album that drew overwhelming praise for alto saxophonist John
Handy and a quintet that included violinist Michael White,
guitarist Jerry Hahn, bassist Don Thompson, and drummer Terry
Clarke. Some 30 years later, the band reunited at a special
performance at the Storyville nightclub in San Francisco,
and Octalouie producer Jesse Block decided to use this moment
as a focal point for a new music documentary. As a superb
musical performance captured with multiple camera angles,
digital multi-track audio, and insightful interviews with
the band members, this program promises to be yet another
amazing addition to the archives of recorded music.
