The Newport Jazz festival is truly the granddaddy of them all as it celebrated its 70th year. It is steeped in the tradition of giants while holding the ears from Gen Alpha on up like no other jazz festival I’ve experienced. The opportunity to shoot the Newport Folk Festival the weekend before and Newport Jazz the following weekend is the best kind of music photography experience for this photographer at this moment. Doing so for JustJazz.tv and Just Jazz Magazine, even more so.
Selected shots and words are featured in that coverage, and, as with Newport Folk, a much deeper archive is available to view upon request.
