50th Monterey Jazz Festival
That this show happened at all is a tribute to the perseverence and persistence of one man, Mr. Andy Weis. Without his hard work and dedication, this could never have taken place.
These pages have Andy's comments on the show as well as my own. Please enjoy the Festival with us...
The perfect song with the perfect lyrics sung by the perfect gentleman/singer/entertainer-Lee Durley to start out a once in a lifetime evening. When Lee is onstage, everyone knows we are in for something special. Everyone showed to play their hearts out and we were ready to perform the finale of the 50th Monterey Jazz Festival.
Check out the solos by Bob Phillips and Paul Contos and especially Dan Robbins who seems to make the upright bass cower under his masterful touch. Dan I believe, will be a powerful force and eventually a legend in music.
Almost like being in love? No, this IS love and respect to the music and to each other. It doesn't get any better than that.
