sonnymax Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 Since it's only two weeks away and there's been no discussion of the Newport Jazz Festival, I assume this year's artists hold little interest for people around here. Still, there will be an installment of the Wayne Shorter 80th birthday tour featuring Herbie Hancock, along with perennial (superficial) favorites like Chick Corea, Hiromi, and Marcus Miller. Anyway, here's the two-day lineup at Newport's Fort Adams State Park: Saturday, August 3, 2013 Wayne Shorter's 80th Birthday Celebration: Wayne Shorter Quartet featuring Danilo Pérez, John Patitucci & Brian Blade plus special guest Herbie Hancock Esperanza Spalding's Radio Music Society Marcus Miller Michel Camilo Sextet Terence Blanchard Quintet Robert Glasper Experiment Gregory Porter Bill Charlap Trio with special guests Bob Wilber & Anat Cohen Edmar Castañeda with special guest Andrea Tierra Lew Tabackin Quartet with Randy Brecker, Peter Washington & Lewis Nash Ray Anderson Pocket Brass Band Rez Abbasi Trio Amir El'Saffar Two Rivers Mary Halvorson Quintet The Ali Amr Experiment RI Music Educators Association Senior All-State Jazz Ensemble Sunday, August 4, 2013 Chick Corea & The Vigil with Christian McBride, Tim Garland, Marcus Gilmore, & Charles Altura Eddie Palmieri Salsa Orchestra Dizzy Gillespie Big Band under the direction of Paquito D'Rivera Hiromi: The Trio Project with Anthony Jackson & Steve Smith Joshua Redman Quartet Roy Haynes Fountain of Youth Band Steve Coleman Projects: Five Elements, Talea Ensemble and Duo with David Bryant Jim Hall with Scott Colley, Lewis Nash and special guest Julian Lage Dirty Dozen Brass Band Jon Batiste & Stay Human Dee Alexander Donny McCaslin Group David Gilmore & Numerology featuring Claudia Acuña, Miguel Zenón, Luis Perdomo, Christian McBride, Jeff "Tain" Watts & Mino Cinelu MA Music Educators Association All-State Jazz Band University of Rhode Island Jazz Festival Big Band Note: Artists not in billing or play order.

ValerieB Posted July 21, 2013 Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 I happen to have great interest in the Newport line-up but it just isn't fitting in with my schedule. ironically, i'll be in Boston on Aug. 7th, just a short while after the Festival. luckily, most of my favorites performing there i'll see elsewhere within the next month or two.
