Fall - 2022

C A R M E L M A G A Z I N E • F A L L 2 0 2 2 101 fit in on such a tight schedule. “I always love to go to Big Sur, Pfeiffer Park,” Eastwood says. “I went there a lot as a kid. And I always drop by the Mission Ranch to say ‘hi’ to everyone and watch a sunset once or twice.” He’s most excited, it’s evident in his voice, “to see my folks, because they both still live there,” and “to catch up with a few friends who are still in the area. Recalling his younger years growing up in Carmel, Eastwood says, “I spent a lot of time with my parents around the tennis courts at the Beach Club at Pebble Beach and I used to go out to John Gardiner’s Tennis Ranch. I did two summers of summer camp out there in the early eighties.” By the time the elder Eastwood ran and served a term as mayor of Carmel in 1985, Eastwood had already graduated from Stevenson School in Pebble Beach. “I kind of missed the whole thing because I went to Los Angeles (to study film). I missed a lot of the hoopla,” he laughs, but recalls reading the news, and remembers the funny merchandise, includ- ing the “Go ahead, make me mayor”T-shirts. Eastwood has also made his own understated mark on Carmel merchandise, with a signature coffee from Carmel Roasting Company. “It was during COVID, and we were visiting with (owners) Janet and Dean McAthie. I’m a big espresso drinker and I tried to recreate an Italian espresso as close as I could,” he says.And thus the organic “Eastwood— Kyle’s Signature Blend” was born, and is still available today at the coffee shop and online. It seems even when it’s not musi- cal, this spirit of collaboration in search of a perfect and delicious, familiar-yet-nascent blend—in other words, the essence of jazz—is what Kyle Eastwood is all about. The Kyle Eastwood Group will grace the Monterey Jazz Festival’s Garden Stage on Sunday, September 25th at 6 PM. For more information, visit www.kyleeastwood.com .
