The first outdoor jazz festival in the country, started by a socialite couple who thought the music deserved a concert audience. Ellington's orchestra was fading in 1956 until a tenor player took 27 choruses here and a woman began dancing, the performance put Ellington back on the cover of Time.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
