At Newport

Description

For his appearance at the Newport Jazz Festival on July 5 1958, Charles pulled out all the stops, performing raucous versions of The Right Time, his massive hit I Got A Woman and Talkin Bout You. Featuring (a.o.) Bennie Crawford on baritone sax, David Fathead Newman on tenor sax and the Raylettes on backing vocals, the band is really on fire. The detailed liner notes on the album were written by Kenneth Lee Karpe.
