Most, if not all, of these performances were probably recorded on July 7, 1958. This group is listed as the "International Jazz Band" in the 1958 Newport Jazz Festival schedule [and as pictured on the sleeve of Philips [Hol] 840046BY]. Arrangements make it hard to detect Szabo's performance here except during a brief feature in "Imagination." According to the album's liner notes, this band debuted first on the Arthur Godfrey TV show and followed this performance with another TV show before touring.
