About this album
Ray Charles At Newport finds Ray Charles at a crucial live peak, turning concert heat into a vivid statement of rhythm and blues. Recorded at the Newport Jazz Festival in 1958, the album shows how he could bring gospel-inflected singing, tough R&B drive and jazz-band finesse into one electrifying performance. Numbers such as The Right Time and I Got A Woman underline the force of his stage presence, while the set helped broaden expectations of what popular Black music could sound like in a jazz setting. It remains one of the essential documents of his early greatness.
