180 GRAM AUDIOPHILE VINYL

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.
