At Newport
Experience two of the greatest voices in jazz at the height of their powers with this superb 180g mono vinyl reissue of At Newport. Recorded live at the fourth annual Newport Jazz Festival in Rhode Island, this historic album captures unforgettable performances from Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday, both delivering sets that showcase why their artistry remains timeless.
Festival director George Wein curated one of the strongest vocalist lineups in Newport’s history, and these recordings remain some of the most exhilarating documents of the era. Ella radiates effortless swing, clarity, and vocal agility, while Billie brings her unmistakable emotional depth and intimate phrasing—two contrasting yet equally iconic styles preserved on warm analogue vinyl.
Remastered in rich mono and pressed on 180-gram heavyweight vinyl, this reissue highlights the atmosphere, immediacy, and raw musical electricity of the legendary 1957 performances. For vocal jazz devotees and collectors, At Newport stands as an essential album—capturing Ella and Billie not in a studio, but in front of an enraptured audience, exactly where their magic shone brightest.
