The 2nd John Handy Album by The John Handy Quintet, released on Columbia in 1966. Review by Scott Yanow Altoist John Handy's second Columbia album was actually his fourth as a leader. Utilizing the same musicians who had joined him during his sensational set at the 1965 Monterey Jazz Festival (violinist Michael White, guitarist Jerry Hahn, bassist Don Thompson and drummer Terry Clarke), Handy performs five of his complex yet accessible originals, which include the "Theme X" (in 5/4 time), the catchy "Blues for a Highstrung Guitar," and the adventurous "Scheme #1." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MbsRUm0AnAg&list=OLAK5uy_nZCsI3DNoCe2gy951iX7Bngkf0c1Z1MUA #JohnHandy #Jazz #Music #MichealWhite #JazzViolin
