A piece of Monterey Jazz Festival legend was brought full circle this year. The album Forest Flower, Live at Monterey, was originally recorded in 1966 here at the festival. Charles Lloyd brought the sounds of his best-selling album back to MJF this year. 💛

“Rumble: The Indians Who Rocked The World” is an outstanding film that explores the influence Native Americans have had on musical history. We highly recommend giving it a watch during #NativeAmericanHistoryMonth to celebrate Indigenous Peoples. youtube.com/watch?v=hovJUo…

MJF founder Jimmy Lyons was born on this day in 1916. Born in China to the son of a missionary, Jimmy's musical career began as a DJ and radio producer in SoCal, NYC, Armed Forces Radio, and SF. Jimmy and Ralph Gleason founded MJF in 1958. Today we celebrate him and his vision.
