Count Basie ‎– At Newport (Japanese Pressing)

Original price was: €79,99.Current price is: €69,99.

Rare Japanese Pressing

At the 1957 Newport Jazz Festival, the music was consistently inspired and often historic. Count Basie welcomed back tenor great Lester Young and singer Jimmy Rushing for part of a very memorable set highlighted by “Boogie Woogie” and “Evenin'”; Young plays beautifully throughout and Rushing is in prime form. An exciting full-length version of “One O’Clock Jump” features Young, Illinois Jacquet, and trumpeter Roy Eldridge; the Basie band stretches out on “Swingin’ at Newport”; and five previously unreleased selections include four Joe Williams vocals. It’s a great set of music.
