The Berkeley Jazz Festival is held once a year at the outdoor Hearst Greek Theatre on the University of California, Berkeley campus. The festival was first held in 1967, and featured Miles Davis, the Modern Jazz Quartet, the Bill Evans Trio, and the John Handy Concert Ensemble. The festival was planned and sponsored by the Associated Students of the University of California with support from San Francisco Chronicle music writer Ralph J. Gleason. (Bobby Hutcherson pictured)
