Review

Former Mingus altoist Handy's 1965 appearance at the Monterey Jazz Festival briefly made him as big a jazz star as Coltrane, as more commercial variants of Trane's quest became the rage among the long-hairs (one thinks of Charles Lloyd and Pharaoh Sanders hitting the Billboard charts). This was by no means a bad thing. Handy's band, which featured violinist Michael White and guitarist Jerry Hahn (both briefly big things, as well), plays a sympathetic and searching pre-hippie modal jazz with touches of free playing. Handy deserved his fame and its mystifying why Columbia ignores his LPs and allows Koch to reissue them. --D. Strauss
