Description

In 1960, bassist Charles Mingus helped organize an alternative jazz festival in Newport to protest against the increasingly commercial and conservative booking policies of Newport. The music on this LP (which has been reissued on CD) features some of the musicians who participated in Mingus's worthy but short-lived endeavor. Trumpeter Roy Eldridge performs three numbers with pianist Tommy Flanagan, Mingus, and drummer Jo Jones; the most interesting is "Mysterious Blues" as it adds trombonist Jimmy Knepper and unique altoist Eric Dolphy to the group. The other selections pair drummers Max Roach and Jo Jones with Roach's quintet (featuring trumpeter Booker Little) on "Cliff Walk" and with singer Abbey Lincoln on "Tain't Nobody's Bizness If I Do."
