Highlights from the 13th Annual Monterey Festival held in 1970: a chance to see and hear some of the big names in jazz and blues.
The late DUKE ELLINGTON talks about his life and his music and, with his orchestra, provides the high spot of the festival: including performances of his ' Afro-Eurasian Suite,' ' Satin Doll' and ' Don' get around much anymore.'
