Brubeck, Dave -trio-
Newport Jazz Festival 1969
The Dave Brubeck Trio featuring Gerry Mulligan performed at the Newport Jazz Festival, Newport, RI on July 5, 1969. This incredible performance was broadcasted on WKCR-FM and is included on this CD in its entirety. Released with full coloured 8-page booklet along with background liners and many archival photographs. A year after dissolving perhaps the most successful jazz quartet of all time, Dave Brubeck returned to the road with a new trio and special guest, Gerry Mulligan. After recording two albums for Columbia, the new ensemble toured on and off for several years showcasing the virtuosity f all four players. Special mention goes to drummer Alan Dawson, a unique talent at the kit and the man who, as a teacher, brought a young Tony Williams' abilities to the boil.
