Complete Newport 1956 Performances + 6 Bonus Tracks! Limited edition

This release presents 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 first 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 Basin Street East, in New

York, recorded by the band nearly three months before the Newport event.
