Description
2CD SET. 24 BIT DIGITALLY REMASTERED ORIGINAL STUDIO SESSIONS. COMPREHENSIVE BOOKLET. COLLECTOR -ORIENTED EDITION. INCLUDES 20-PAGE BOOKLET.
All of the existing material related to the legendary 1956 Newport performance by the great Duke Ellington. This was the classic concert which Ellington compared to being born again in the public’s mind and at which alto saxophonist Paul Gonsalves excelled playing chorus after chorus on “Diminuendo and Crescendo in Blue”. While that live performance was utilized on the original LP Ellington at Newport (Columbia CL-934) the rest of the tracks there belonged to a studio session made two days after the actual show. This edition presents fi rst the complete live concert followed by the studio tracks. As a bonus we have also added a complete March 1956 studio session as well as three extremely rare tracks from a broadcast at the Blue Note in Chicago recorded by the band nearly three months before the Newport event.
