Exclusive Arena artists for 2009 include the Chick Corea, Stanley Clarke and Lenny White Trio; Dave Brubeck Quartet, John Scofield and the Piety Street Band, Pete Seeger, Susan Tedeschi, Hank Jones / Joe Lovano Quartet, George Duke, Next Generation Jazz Orchestra featuring Wynton Marsalis, and the Los Angeles County High School for the Arts Big Band.
Arena artists additionally performing on the grounds will include Conrad Herwig's Latin Side All-Star Band, the Monterey Jazz Festival All-Stars featuring Kenny Barron, Regina Carter, Kurt Elling, and Russell Malone; Esperanza Spalding; John Scofield, Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Joe Lovano with John Patitucci and Brian Blade; and Jason Moran and The Bandwagon.
Sunday Night in the Arena features an Arena exclusive: Three Generations of Pianists, with the Chick Corea, Stanley Clarke and Lenny White Trio; the Dave Brubeck Quartet (celebrating the 50th anniversary of Time Out); and the 2009 Commission Artist, Jason Moran and The Bandwagon, debuting this year's MJF-chartered work, Feedback. The piece refers to another historic event held on the Monterey Fairgrounds 42 years ago - the Monterey Pop Festival, which included the U.S. debut of the Jimi Hendrix Experience. On the Arena stage in 1967, the iconic and influential guitarist shocked audiences by setting his guitar on fire and smashing it on stage. Moran's Feedback will try to recapture the symbiotic relationship when performers and audiences are engaged in a musical and psychic dialog.
