NOTE
From a user :
Just for the record, this was -not- recorded in Newport, Rhode Island but in Atlantic City, New Jersey. And it was Sid Bernstein who produced the show, not George Wein.
It may have been part of the Newport Jazz Festival, which had festival venues in various locations along the US Northeast, but I'm pretty sure this was not one of them. Look at the newspaper clip carefully

I am not sure who is right or who is wrong here..

and It is quite a remarkable show !

thnks for the input here wish u left a nick or something LOl
i added yours to the post..
like you said its a great find !
Many thanks.
Si l'on en croit Wikipédia, des incidents se sont produits en 1960 avec pour conséquence le refus des riverains d'accueillir le festival en 1961 ! C'est cette année seulement que le festival, sous le nom de "Music At Newport" et produit par Sid Bernstein est déplacé en dehors de Newport !! Vu le peu de succès de cette édition le festival reviendra à Freebody Park en 1962. J'ai le DVDRip du concert de 1960 avec les mentions: June 30, july 1,2,3,4 Freebody Park Newport, Rhode Island 7th ANNUAL, OFFICIAL PROGRAM sur la cover du DVD !!
