Newport Jazz Festival

Two of the most famous performances in the festival's history include Miles Davis 's 1955 solo on "'Round Midnight" and the Duke Ellington Orchestra's lengthy 1956 performance of " Diminuendo And Crescendo In Blue ".

A Muddy Waters performance at the 1960 festival (released as the album '' At Newport 1960 '') is widely regarded as his best recorded work.

Ella Fitzgerald , Billie Holiday and Carmen McRae 's performances from the 1957 festival are on the album '' Ella Fitzgerald And Billie Holiday At Newport ''.

The festival was originally held at the Bellevue Avenue estate of Louis and Elaine Lorillard, Belcourt , now called Belcourt Castle and owned by the Tinney Family.

The film '' Jazz On A Summer's Day '' documented the 1958 festival.
