MONTEREY JAZZ FESTIVAL - 2020 PARTNERSHIP PRESENTATION
VISION
¡ Our mission is to inspire the discovery and
   celebration of jazz, anchored by an iconic festival.

MISSION
¡ We envision a sustainable organization that sets the
  standard of excellence for jazz, connects a diverse
  community, and helps people appreciate and learn about
  jazz as fans and performers.

PRESS QUOTES

¡   “The 62nd Monterey Jazz Festival will go down in the history books as perhaps
    the first to navigate the slippery slope of big change with a strong focus on new
    generations of listeners. The arc stretched wide, with funky electric styles, big
    band jazz, classic piano-led ensembles, world music, contemporary jazz and
    beyond. There literally was something for everyone.” –Monterey Herald
¡   “…Tim Jackson has created an important festival entity, which manages to
    capture an overview of a music which is less a specific or demographically-limited
    idiom, but a diversified musical world, ever in motion. Monterey continues to be a
    go-to press report zone on the state of jazz.” –All About Jazz
¡   “Monterey Jazz Festival has so much else to offer, from yummy food options to fun
    shopping and a warm and friendly atmosphere that is unparalleled among big
    music events.” –San Jose Mercury News
¡   “It was a terrific start to one of the best weekends of the year.” –San Jose Mercury
    News

PRESS QUOTES

¡   “One of the most interesting parts of the Monterey Jazz Festival is its willingness for
    experimentation. While there are still plenty of traditional straight-ahead jazz acts—like that
    of Kenny Barron and Dave Holland’s piano and acoustic bass duo in Dizzy’s Den on Saturday
    night, which gave the audience a softer, timeless jazz club feel—many younger artists are
    bringing different sounds to their sets.”
    –Monterey County Weekly
¡   “Monterey has a gift for catching giants at the height of their powers. Pianist Kenny Barron and
    bassist Dave Holland (with drummer Nasheet Waits) played with a flow so organic it erased the
    distinction between “straight-ahead” and “free-improvised” jazz. Diana Krall turned in an
    extraordinary yet subdued performance Friday notable for its melancholy mood…” –Seattle
    Times
¡   “The Miller-Hodge [Mary Lou Williams] project represented a philosophy of marrying tradition
    and new expression, and increasingly MJF is breaking down boundaries by presenting risk-
    taking artists who are resolute in evolving the music.” –DownBeat
¡   “The season’s programming was built on a redoubtable foundation with artists-in-residence
    drummer Allison Miller and bassist/producer Derrick Hodge. They both performed in several
    disparate settings, but their collaborative Mary Lou Williams tribute on the Jimmy Lyons Stage
    in the main arena kicked off the festival with a stellar only-in-Monterey moment.” –JazzTimes
¡   “…the 62nd Monterey Jazz Festival exemplified all of the festival’s multifarious strengths and
    its newfound leadership in programmatic gender equity…” –San Francisco Classical Voice
