Ray Charles's time at Atlantic is rightly considered his best. For his appearance at the 1958 Newport Jazz Festival he pulled out all the stops in a consistently exciting rollercoaster performance. The combination of a top form Charles, fulsome and rifftastic backing,
The Raelettes and excellent engineering quality makes this one of the great live recordings.
