New Thing at Newport

by John Coltrane / Archie Shepp

New Thing at Newport cover art

A monumental split live album showcasing back-to-back sets at the 1965 Newport Jazz Festival. It powerfully contrasts Coltrane's intensely spiritual, rapidly accelerating quartet explorations with Shepp's more violently rhythmic and politically charged free-jazz assault, summarizing the chaotic shift of 1960s jazz.
