great stuff - i´m looking for some scenes of Elligton at Newport '56. Mainly with the crazy blondie dancing.

I got this album.

The '56 Newport performance is one of the best stories in American music.

I am fortunate enough to have this album. If you're not familiar with the circumstances surrounding this recording - research it. It's a brilliant story, and American history.

@clskmstg True, a great story and a brilliant performance, I have the vinyl lp of Ellington at Newport, it's the "Live At Leeds" of live Jazz albums
