The 1975 edition of the festival is reputed to have been one of the most exciting in the long history of this first-rate festival. The performers on that year covered terrains as varied as it was possible in the jazz scene of the day: from the haunting lyricism of the Bill Evans Trio to the swinging improvisations by Dizzy Gillespie and Cal Tjader, from the down-home soul and blues of Bobby "Blue" Bland to the new approach of Chuck Mangione or the time-honored sounds of John Lewis and Svend Asmussen.
