Description:
When Duke Ellington set out to make a live album at the 1958 Newport Jazz Festival, he set his sights high, targeting new material that had been played by the band only infrequently in the months leading up to the concert. After the performance, Ellington and producer Irving Townsend decided to re cut eight pieces under more ideal studio conditions and dub in applause to recreate the Newport event. The subsequent Newport 1958 album contained the eight studio tracks with doctored audience and only two real Newport performances "Just Scratchin' The Surface" and "Prima Bara Dubla" with guest soloist Gerry Mulligan. This edition of Newport 1958 has the restored mono masters of the studio material without the annoying dubbed in audience, the two Newport tracks and four additional tracks from the concert, including a version "Feet Bone" which was not remade in the studio. |
