About this album
The 2nd John Handy Album is a strong post-bop and soul-jazz statement from John Handy’s Quintet, built around agile ensemble writing and Handy’s lyrical alto saxophone. Issued in 1966, it reflects a period when jazz was absorbing blues, gospel and harder-edged modern harmony without losing melodic clarity. Handy’s group balances composed themes and open improvisation with real finesse, giving the record both drive and sophistication. For listeners drawn to mid-1960s jazz that sits between accessibility and adventurousness, it stands as an engaging example of the era’s evolving small-group sound.
