Duke Ellington - Ellington at Newport - MFSL LP

Numbered, Limited Edition — MoFi Silver Label, Mono, Pressed at RTI

Duke Ellington's legendary 1956 Newport Jazz Festival set is one of the most riveting live recordings in jazz history. The performance — punctuated by Paul Gonsalves' electrifying 27-chorus tenor saxophone solo on "Diminuendo and Crescendo in Blue" — sparked a near-riot of dancing fans and triggered Ellington's return to the mainstream, becoming his best-selling album. Mastered on Mobile Fidelity's renowned mastering system and pressed at RTI, this numbered, limited-edition Silver Series LP delivers greater separation, deeper lows, and clearer highs than previous editions.
