DUKE ELLINGTON Ellington At Newport (Mobile Fidelity Sound
Lab Silver Label Series special limited edition LP
mastered on the Gain 2 Ultra Analog System. Famously
recorded live at the American Jazz Festival at Newport on 7th
July 1956 with Paul Gonsalves' acrobatic, fully-improvised,
27-chorus tenor solo. An absolutely vital piece in the Ellington
canon. Picture sleeve with original cover artwork, individually
gold-foil numbered & factory sealed. Recommended)
TRACKLISTING AND EXTRA INFORMATION
HISTORIC LIVE SET TRIGGERED SPONTANEOUS AUDIENCE OUTBURST THAT FED DIRECTLY INTO FEEL, OUTCOME OF PERFORMANCE
It spurred Duke Ellington's comeback into the mainstream. It captures a performance so energetic, wild, unexpected, and unprecedented that the music literally caused thousands of people to jump up and stand on their chairs, worrying officials that a riot might ensue. It is jazz of the highest order, played at an almost rock n' roll pace, and with an enthusiastic pep that confirms Ellington and his ensemble fed off the crowd's reaction as the collective lit into each new stanza. It is Ellington's best-selling album. It is Ellington at Newport.
Side One
1. Festival Junction
2. Blues to Be There
3. Newport Up
Side Two
1. Jeep's Blues
2. Diminuendo and Crescendo In Blue
Like few records before or since, the 1956 set owes as much to context and circumstance as it does instrumental execution. Years prior to his appearance in Rhode Island, Ellington had suffered lackadaisical record sales and a falling out of the public eye, as bop and hard bop supplanted tradition big bands. Yet in preparation for the event, Ellington worked on experimental ideas and a reshaping of some of his standards.
The iconic arranger/composer's foresight comes into fruition throughout the white-hot set, never more so than on "Diminuendo and Crescendo In Blue," on which tenor saxophonist Paul Gonsalves erases all rules and outlays a 27-chorus solo that left everyone in awe – and prompted them to stand on chairs, dance feverishly, and hoot and holler to an extent that caused Ellington to ultimately cool things off. The improvisational flight epitomizes boldness, freedom, risk, and, to the bandleader, an assuredly loud response to the critics that had believed his well was tapped.
The songs in advance of the climactic moment are no less exciting; Ellington and his 15-piece collective manhandle notes with ease, swinging and sliding through "Festival Junction" with a requisite balance of poise and panache, and kicking heels on "Newport Up" via Ellington's spry piano riffs, Jimmy Hamilton's spicy clarinet feeds, and Clark Terry's trumpet runs. In every way, Ellington at Newport is as quintessential as Kind of Blue, Giant Steps, and Way Out West.
And now, the 1956 classic can be experienced in an analog fidelity never before as authentic or transparent on any pressing. Mastered on our world-renowned mastering system and pressed at RTI, this numbered edition Silver Series LP of Ellington's triumph boasts tremendous separation, deeper low frequencies, clearer highs, and front-to-back dynamics. Horns blare with multi-hued color, the Duke's 88s ring out with treble finesse, and the rhythm section claims an added presence buried on previous editions. Musically and sonically, you need this LP. It's that simple.
