Jazz Festival Review

It mostly happens to jazz music fans. You thought you've seen and heard the best until another performer takes center stage reminding you that the show is far from over, and the best is yet to come. The fact is, a new generation of jazz musicians and singers has emerged, and if you haven't seen, or heard of them before, you should make plans to attend the next Jazz festival at Fort Adams state park in Newport, Rhode Island.
The festival has gotten more diverse over the years with new flavors of pop, funk, hip-hop, and jazz music evenly sprinkled over three days of live entertainment. Some of the crowd's favorite has returned to relentless cheers, loud applause, and standing ovations. There's always something special and unique at the festival, but with the passing of George weine, the founder of the Jazz festival, not sure what the future holds. One can only hope that the new administrators continue to bring new and exciting artists that defy the conventional, raised the bar, and leaves a lasting impression on the listening audience.
