1001 Albums Summary

"Ellington at Newport" is a 1956 live jazz album by Duke Ellington from 1956. The original album was not really a recording of the concert, it was released again in 1999 using different sources to present the concert intact. Again another opportunity to hear performance done almost 60 years ago. This is not an album I would have played on my own, it was fun to close my eyes, listen to the announcer, the music and pretend to be at the show.
