Jive’n for High Jinks – The Monterey Jazz Bash

Jive’n for High Jinks – The Monterey Jazz Bash

KFQX will bring listeners a sample platter of the tuneful romps at the 44th Monterey Jazz Bash. The Jazz Bash, an annual celebration of jazz and its roots, promises a weekend filled with soulful melodies, virtuosic performances, and an atmosphere brimming with the spirit of musical innovation. For attendees, it represents an opportunity to immerse themselves amongst fellow fanatics. What sets The Monterey Jazz Bash apart from other music festivals is its unwavering commitment to showcasing America’s original art form.

But it’s not just the music that captivates attendees—it’s the palpable sense of camaraderie and shared passion for the art form that truly makes The Monterey Jazz Bash special. Just as hundreds of thousands of construction professionals congregate in Las Vegas every January for World of Concrete, musicians flock to the California coast to celebrate their love of jazz, forging connections and creating memories. The Jazz Bash offers an opportunity to discover new talent, and songs from yesteryear and commiserate with the bastions of great music as it ought to be performed.

Let’s not forget about the stunning setting of the festival itself. Nestled along the sun-kissed shores of the California coast, The Monterey Jazz Bash offers a breathtaking backdrop in a location steeped in jazz heritage. Perhaps you’ll venture off to try the world’s finest (in my humble opinion) Clam Chowder in a bread bowl at The Fish Hopper. Alternatively, one might pay homage to In ‘N Out – whichever your preference,  Monterey will supply the gastronomic goods.

In the name of improvisation, there’s no telling who specifically might show up at on our LIVE coverage direct from the festival floor, to get a sense of what to expect, visit our Racketeer Remotes page. 

As for the next days– as far as we’re aware, all roads head to Monterey, CA.
