Jazz in the USA: On the 60th Anniversary of the Newport Jazz Festival


 

For
the 60th anniversary of the Newport Jazz Festival, journalist Soledad
O'Brien moderates a panel discussion with George Wein, founder of the
Newport Jazz Festival; Dan Morgenstern, author, archivist, and NEA Jazz
Master; and jazz musicians Jonathan Batiste and Christian McBride. Film
clips of the 1960 festival (from the holdings of the National Archives)
will complement the discussion. Jazz at the National Archives is made
possible in part by the Foundation for the National Archives through the
generous support of Natixis Global Asset Management.
