  1. Una delicia #jazz 58 años acaba de cumplir esta fabulosa presentación de Herbie Mann Quintet en el Newport Jazz Festival. Observen la exquisitez de Roy Ayers en el vibráfono. También están Chick Anemian, Reggie Workman y Bruno Carr. Simplemente hermoso. #NewportJazzFestival #USA

    This concert went down in history as Duke Ellington’s triumphant comeback. His legendary performance at the Newport Jazz Festival became a true sensation: the audience danced right in front of the stage, and the press called it “Ellington’s second birth.”

  13. “I think when you look at the elements, the ingredients, of [Return to Forever’s] music, they are things that people still appreciate. People admire the virtuosic nature of the music. I’ve seen that admiration even by guys who are into completely different types of music. They look at something like Return to Forever and can see accomplishment. Return to Forever has a compositional element to it, but also a jam band quality, and I think people react to that.” - Stanley Clarke

  18. “I got in the studio and had this English engineer. We started playing, and he said, “Oh man, you better record that.” At first, I couldn’t figure out who was going to solo on it and decided, what the hell, I’ll just do the solo. And taking that solo kind of changed things in the bass world.“ - Stanley Clarke

  19. “I think less about the line between [tradition and modernity] as much as I think about my own love for the tradition. I have a very true, and genuine love and passion for jazz music and its history. It literally came from me being a kid and watching the Ken Burns series, listening to records by Duke Ellington and Count Basie, and falling in love with the music.“ - Riley Mulherkar

  22. “I’ve thought about how many important saxophonists Roy [Haynes] has played with, whether Charlie Parker, Lester Young, Trane, Eric Dolphy, Joe Henderson, or Kenny Garrett. Roy played with everyone. I did a Charlie Parker tribute gig with him at The Jazz Showcase. I’ll never forget it. We were playing mostly Charlie Parker tunes, and I turned around to see a big poster of Bird on the wall behind Roy. And it’s like “Oh man.” Seeing that poster behind him put everything into perspective.”- Jaleel Shaw

  27. “Silence is as important as sound to me. It is with sound and silence that rhythm exists. Whether short notes or long notes in the African clef, the various rhythms that come from Brazil are based on silence and sound and it is very important to remember that the variation of this is the origin of swing, of balance. I love silence.” - Amaro Freitas

  36. “I think the one thing that makes music special is its soul. Look at music like the Blues. If a computer creates Blues music when it has never experienced the Blues, is it truly the Blues? No. I’m sure that’s the type of question – whether something is music or not- that people will spend a lot of time arguing over. But for me, the music comes down to that soul and warmth. And that’s important to me during the process of creating music as well.“ - Rob Garza

  38. “I think the one thing that makes music special is its soul. Look at music like the Blues. If a computer creates Blues music when it has never experienced the Blues, is it truly the Blues? No. I’m sure that’s the type of question – whether something is music or not- that people will spend a lot of time arguing over. But for me, the music comes down to that soul and warmth. And that’s important to me during the process of creating music as well.“ - Rob Garza

    In our first artist interview for the 2024 Newport Jazz season, we sat down with Thievery Corporation’s Rob Garza.

  40. For the entire month of July, PostGenre will be covering this summer’s Newport Jazz Festival. We have several special interviews and pieces planned, culminating in live coverage of the event on 8/2 through 8/4.

    To kick things off, we sat down with Ron Cudworth as part of our series where we talk to people behind the scenes of the event. Ron, also a life-long Newporter, is the Festival’s second most senior staff member, providing security since 1981. We discuss his upbringing in Newport, service to the Festivals, and how the two intersect.
