Title Note

Liner Note Author: George Wein.

Recording information: Newport Jazz Festival, Newport, Rhode Island (1956 - 1976).

Since its inception in 1954, the Newport Jazz Festival has been the event by which most music festivals (jazz or otherwise) are measured. Every year, musicians and fans from around the globe flock to Newport, Rhode Island for the festival, and this collection, spanning the mid-1950s through the mid-'70s, presents a cross-section of the many styles and performers organizer George Wein brought to the stage. Wein was mindful of presenting the roots of the music (the sanctified gospel of Mahalia Jackson, the sly stride piano of Willie "The Lion" Smith), along with its later branches (the unfettered sounds of John Coltrane, the thoughtful cool of Dave Brubeck). Getting the spotlight are iconic singers (Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald), legendary trumpet masters (Louis Armstrong, Dizzy Gillespie, and Miles Davis), beloved big bands (Count Basie, Duke Ellington), and even a cornerstone of the blues, Muddy Waters. This 50th anniversary set is recommended for both hardcore devotees and listeners seeking an overview of jazz's history as seen and heard through a time-honored annual celebration.
