T-Bone Walker and B.B. King – Monterey Jazz Festival – September 16, 1967 – Voice Of America – Gordon Skene Sound Collection –
Another rarity this morning – T-Bone Walker and B.B. King together on stage at the 1967 Monterey Jazz Festival, recorded for posterity by The Voice Of America on September 16, 1967. BTW, this was the ’67 JAZZ festival, not Pop Festival.
An all-star occasion with, in addition to Walker and King, guest luminaries Illinois Jacquet on sax, Lloyd Glenn on piano, Melvin Moore on trumpet, Duke Jethro on organ and Jesse Price and Sonny Freeman on drums (Price on the T-Bone portion of the set and Freeman on the King portion of the set).
Definitely a memorable occasion for all.
Turn this one up and invite Tuesday in to sit and chill.
