- Abstract
- This "rump festival" was held simultaneous to the Newport Jazz Festival held over the Fourth of July (and extended it). Organized by Charlie Mingus and Max Roach, and constituting a rebellion against which they claimed was the small pay the Newport Festival accorded its lesser-known attractions. Performance featured Baby Laurence performing two numbers, backed by the Charlie Mingus Jazz Workshop that, with the help of a couple microphones tilted against the front edge of the platform on which he danced, went off like machine guns.
