*Anyone who happened to attend the Newport Jazz Festival, in July 1956, will never forget Paul Gonsalves, tenor sax player, and one of the featured soloists in Duke Ellington's band that night. His legendary 27-chorus blues solo on "Diminuendo and Crescendo in Blue" was well received by a wildly enthusiastic audience - a surprise success that not only kick-started the revival of Ellington's own career, but also opened many doors for Gonsalves himself.
After the festival he found himself in demand as a leader and sideman on various recording dates. Typical was this 1957 session with Clark Terry.

  • Great ! I love Paul Gonsalves !

    a lot of thanks

  • Great upload. I grew up in Chicago and never seen this album before. Clark Terry sounds fantastic. I do believe everyone (with the exception of Willie Jones who was a local Chicago musician) was in Ellington's band then and maybe they were playing a week long engagement @ the Blue Note & made this recording while they were in town. Thanks for sharing it.

  • thank you!
