This gathering of jazz veterans, headed by former Count Basie and Duke Ellington trumpet star Clark Terry, continued the longstanding tradition of the jam session, a favorite modus operandi of impresario George Wein since he started the Newport Jazz Festival in 1954. For this Sunday night jam on July 7, 1974, Wein was hoping to repeat the "lightning in a bottle" effect he captured in 1972, when he had Terry jamming at Yankee Stadium with a similar lineup of jazz giants. In spacious Radio City Music Hall, which seats 6,000, Terry was joined for this freewheeling jam by fellow trumpeter and Basie alumnus Joe Newman, former Woody Herman trombonist Urbie Green, Thelonious Monk's longtime tenor saxophonist Charlie Rouse, tough tenorman Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis, guitarist and bossa nova pioneer Charlie Byrd, former Ella Fitzgerald pianist and Jazz at the Philharmonic regular Hank Jones, stalwart bassist and former Cab Calloway sideman Milt Hinton, and ubiquitous hard bop drummer Freddie Waits. Together they shared common ground in the jazz standard repertoire and their mutual love of blues, bebop, and ballads, which they explored to the hilt over the course of four turns.
