Went to the Newport Jazz Fest this past weekend. The genre range was wider than ever, incl. bebop, fusion, soul, hip hop, & even Anderson .Paak DJing up a storm. My faves were more trad (whatever that means these days) and on the smallest stage: the Dave Holland New Quartet and the Julian Lage Trio. All I can say is that following intense improv, live, as a participating listener, remains exhilarating. #NewportJazzFestival #DaveHolland #JaleelShaw #JulianLage #DaveKing #JorgeRoeder

At The Newport Jazz Festival. Soulive and Domi & JD Beck absolutely ripped so far. Perfect day at Fort Adams #NewportJazzFestival #Newport #NewportRI #jazz #ocean #boats

Continuing with the Oscar Peterson Trio - but this time with Roy Eldridge, Sonny Stitt and Jo Jones at Newport in 1957.

A really solid live set in front of an enthusiastic Newport Jazz Festival audience, trading blazing fast licks. Good stuff.

Rewatching "Jazz On A Summer's Day." How is it I'd never known about Anita O'Day before this festval documentary? I mean.

Many great jazzists in this, most of whom I knew. Ms. O'Day was a revelation.
