Comments

Equivalent release: EmArcy SR-80010 (stereo).

Later reissued as Mercury MG-20524 (mono) and Mercury SR-60201 (stereo).

One unreleased track (“Deeds Not Words” from the same live performance) can be heard on 1984 Japan Issue Nippon Phonogram 195J-42.

Inside The Groove

A needless-to-say famous live album at Newport Jazz Festival 1958; an companion to “Newport '58”

Personal Impression (and brief notes)

Although an unusual setting of quintet with tuba and without piano, Max Roach + 4 plays superb up-tempo boppish sounds. Especially brilliant trumpet of Booker Little is marvellous.

Strictly Personal Rating (to what extent I could enjoy this album)

9 out of 10
