This double CD releases the entire Newport Jazz concert from 7th July 1956. It also features as a bonus a studio recording from 2 days later, plus 3 tracks from another session from March 1956 and 3 from a radio broadcast on 14th April. The Newport concert is regarded highly and was Duke’s best selling LP. It features classics like ‘Tea For Two’ and ‘Take The A Train’. Alto saxophonist Paul Gonsalves is outstanding especially on ‘Diminuendo In Blue And Crescendo In Blue’.
