Newport Jazz Festival 2021

[tranemonk]

Any of you guys hip to what's happening there this summer? I'm on their email list and they've announced the plan/tickets for the Folk Festival. They've said the Jazz Festival info is coming but didn't say when...

One thing that's really annoying is that they are giving first ticket dibs to "members" of the Festival. When I emailed them telling them I don't remember any kind of "membership" plan, they said it was only available during and at the jazz festival. I explained that I'd be going to for 20+ years and this was the first I've ever heard of it. 

Are any of you guys Newport Jazz Festival "members" and got any upcoming ticket/scheduling info? Thanks.

For those of you interested... Initial lineup is out and tickets on sale tomorrow Thursday June 3rd... Although I'm thrilled to have live music again and will probably go for a day.... Overall I'm disappointed and a bit unimpressed...

One of these years I'm going to attend, but probably not this year.

Andra Day is dreadful.

No love for Trombone Shorty? Outside of Covid I don't think he's ever stopped touring.

A rather underwhelming lineup so far...

Yeah, no Mulligan, no Torme, no Chuck Berry, this is NOT Newport.
