Come along with us while we crack the vault "...and let the music out" For the largest release of live concerts for download...over 1000s of rare concert downloads...recordings from the Newport Archive starting with three amazing performances from the 1959 Jazz Festival.

Don't miss the great Count Basie & His Orchestra, who play a swinging set with steam-rolling momentum. Next give a listen to the expressive voice of Dakota Staton; although not as widely known, this sassy performer definitely gives Ella Fitzgerald a run for her money. For some harder bop, check out the charismatic Art Blakey and his Jazz Messengers. These shows are now the oldest on the site but among the best sounding. All three are available for free streaming and for downloads.(Source: Wolfgang'sVault)
