Collector’s Note:
This issue is notable for featuring both Gerry Mulligan and Zoot Sims on the cover, two giants of the West Coast and swing traditions. Inside, it balances classic jazz with contemporary directions, from Ira Gitler’s New Orleans Jazzfest report to an in-depth look at Blood, Sweat & Tears’ fusion of rock and jazz. With festival coverage spanning Berkeley, Kansas City, and more, plus a Blindfold Test with Les McCann, this edition captures the broad spectrum of jazz in the summer of 1969.
