Dmitry Posted March 6, 2006 Report Posted March 6, 2006 Was wondering when the 1st Berkeley Jazz Festival was held. Thanks. Quote
Mr. Gone Posted April 23, 2006 Report Posted April 23, 2006 David Gitin's right. The 10th Annual UC Berkeley Jazz Festival took place in '76. Quote
BFrank Posted April 24, 2006 Report Posted April 24, 2006 David Gitin's right. The 10th Annual UC Berkeley Jazz Festival took place in '76. I was at that one! My notes indicate that Hubert Laws was the headliner, though. WP second and Lonnie Liston Smith third. Interesting ... Quote
ValerieB Posted April 24, 2006 Report Posted April 24, 2006 wasn't darlene chan (george wein's right arm) the founder of the berkeley jazz festival during her college days? that would probable be over 40 years ago, i think. Quote
David Gitin Posted January 28, 2011 Report Posted January 28, 2011 In the '60s there were some exciting ones including Alice Coltrane with Frank Lowe (his first big gig), Max Roach & Abbey Lincoln, Cecil Taylor on a bill with Miles Davis & Gil Evans (Carmen McRae opened), The Last Poets, among others...
