Time After Time

All-Star Bands have been a long standing tradition at the annual Monterey Jazz Festival. Starting in 1966, the Festival assembled master musicians under the "Monterey All-Stars" moniker. For the festival's 50th Anniversary celebration last fall, MJF put together an All-Star band that would never be forgotten!

Since such incredible musicianship and artistry could not go unremembered, the newly formed Monterey Jazz Festival Records is proud to bring you this live recording of their stellar performance.

Featuring trumpeter TERENCE BLANCHARD, vocalist NNENNA FREELON, pianist BENNY GREEN, bassist DERRICK HODGE, drummer KENDRICK SCOTT and legendary reedman JAMES MOODY, this CD was recorded live at the Monterey Jazz Festival, Sept. 23, 2007.
