robviti Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 (edited) After learning that there will be no JVC Jazz Festival in New York this year, I searched for information about the festival in Newport, which had been run by the same company for the last several years. Thankfully, founder George Wein was able to put things together in order to save Newport. Here's some information on the lineup. Standard fare for the most part, although there are a few surprises (in bold).
