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.”

“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

“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
“[I]f there was a Bible of the history of doubling with both the double bass and the electric bass, Stanley would be its Genesis. It all starts with him.” - Christian McBride

“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
Read our conversation with Riley Mulherkar on his debut album as a leader, Riley (out now on Westerlies Records), and the upcoming Newport Jazz Festival performance tied to it.

“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
Check out our conversation with Shaw on his past performances at Newport Jazz Festival, working with Roy Haynes, his well overdue upcoming Newport leader debut (with Lawrence Fields, Dezron L Douglas, and Joe Dyson), and more.

“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

“[J]azz is deep inside me. I’ve studied jazz all my life. I wanted to be a jazz musician. But James Brown came along, offered me a job, and I got involved with him. Eventually, I became more and more involved with funk music. And, so, I became known as a funk musician… But I’ve always been a jazz musician at heart.” - Fred Wesley
We sat down with Fred Wesley to discuss James Brown, George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic, his forthcoming Newport Jazz Festival appearance as part of Christian McBride’s Jam Jawn, and more.

“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.

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.
