Ellington At Newport

Triumphant and electrifying, Ellington at Newport captures one of jazz’s most legendary performances. Recorded live in 1956, this show revived Duke Ellington’s career and delivered an iconic moment with Paul Gonsalves’ 27-chorus solo on “Diminuendo and Crescendo in Blue.” The crowd’s energy, the band’s fire—it’s all preserved beautifully on this vinyl edition.
