Slim & Slam
Monterey Jazz Festival
Monterey, CA
09-1970

This is the famed reunion concert of Slam Stewart and Slim Gaillard at the Monterey Jazz Festival in 1970. These guys were so much fun and this will put a smile on your face. Who knew that jazz could be good music and also funny? I think these guys pull it off. They are joined by the legendary Jo Jones on drums and Milt Buckner on organ. Together they seem to have a blast. I canÕt seem to find the actual day of the concert so any help would be appreciated.

HereÕs a small bio on Slim Gaillard

This is from a reel to reel master soundboard. I got a chance to transfer some great mono soundboards from reel to reels in the early 80's. This is actually a Teac reel to reel to Cassette (top of the line Yamaha TC-1000 cassette deck from the 80's) and then transferred straight to my Philips CDR-765 deck. This is as close to a master generation as possible since the reels where sent off to a never-neverland surplus probably never to see the light of day from the original source. CD Burners didn't exist yet so I had to wait until they we're available to transfer this show This is a live soundboard that may or may not have been broadcast. I think you'll be pleased with the sound quality. Again, I used the top of the line Maxell tapes and transferred this to my Philips CDR-765 deck.

Enjoy
