Volunteers Act As MJF Ambassadors, Participate In MJF Events, Gain Valuable Experience In Festival Production
Monterey, CA; The Monterey Jazz Festival is looking for volunteers! As a way of seeing the Festival up close, volunteering is a great experience for students, seniors and everybody in between. Whether working behind the scenes or in a crowd, volunteers are needed starting Monday, September 14, continuing through Monday, September 21. We would greatly appreciate volunteers early in the Festival week, as we need help setting up for the big event. Volunteers typically work six-hour shifts, but are able to stay on the grounds afterwards to enjoy the music.
To apply to be a volunteer for the Monterey Jazz Festival, please visit the Festival’s website, www.montereyjazzfestival.org and look for “Volunteer for MJF/52” on the homepage. You will find a link to volunteer information and an application form to fill out, or can be printed and faxed to the Festival. You will be notified of your acceptance, job description and hours based on your selected preferences by the MJF Volunteer Coordinator.
This is absolutely one of my favorite records, the Coltrane I like most, when he also plays soprano sax. This is his first albu, with Atlantic label and his new quartet: McCoy Tyner (Piano), Elvin Jones (Drums) and Steve Davis (Bass) (Jimmy Garrison joined later). Only four tracks but tehye're sublime. His modal version of My Favorite Things, from musical "The Sound Of Music", is kind of hypnitic and repetitive, and had a great influence on psichedelic rock which would have rised just a few years later.
