New View is a live album by saxophonist John Handy and his quintet, recorded and released in 1967. It was Handy's second live and third release for Columbia. The original LP features three pieces: two Handy originals and a version of "Naima", recorded as a homage to saxophone legend John Coltrane, who would die three weeks after this recording (July 17). The subtitle "In Memory of" was expressly added for the release in late 1967.[2][3]

The song "Tears of Ole Miss (Anatomy of a Riot)" was inspired by the Ole Miss riot of 1962 and initially performed by Handy's Freedom Band, a group formed in 1963 to raise funds for Civil Rights causes.[4]
