3 stars (out of 5) - "...one of the most famous of jazz concerts of all time...generally acknowledged to have put him back on the map after a period in the commercial doldrums....every fan will want a copy."

JazzTimes - 10/99, pp.82-4

"...presents for the first time in true stereo every note that the band played at Newport over that famous weekend of July 7/8, 1956....To hear this classic performance in stereo...is alone worth the price of admission..."
