«At Newport» is the jazz album by The Gigi Gryce-Donald Byrd Jazz Laboratory and The Cecil Taylor Quartet, released by Verve Records on CD (2002).
At Newport captures two 1957 performances at the Newport Jazz Festival: one by Cecil Taylor's ensemble, with jazz that pushes the genre's language to its limits, and another by Gigi Gryce and Donald Byrd's group, more rooted in the bebop tradition. It includes tracks such as «Johnny Come Lately» and «Splittin' (Ray's Way)».
Remastered CD edition, also released by Verve Records, with a limited reissue of the original festival recordings.
For jazz fans seeking a live recording from the 1950s with two complementary perspectives on the genre.
