Jazz Artists Guild - Newport Rebels - Pure Pleasure LP

180g Audiophile Vinyl, Pressed at Pallas in Germany

The one lasting accomplishment of the 1960 Newport Jazz Festival was the rebel festival staged at nearby Cliff Walk Manor, organized by Charles Mingus and Max Roach in protest against the event's growing commercialization. This album captures that spirit of independence, with performances from an extraordinary cast including Roy Eldridge, Jimmy Knepper, Eric Dolphy, Tommy Flanagan, Mingus, Jo Jones, Booker Little, Benny Bailey, and Kenny Dorham. Part of Pure Pleasure's acclaimed Candid series, drawn from the legendary label founded in 1960 with Nat Hentoff producing.
