Jazz Festival Review

Jazz Music in Newport Rhode Island The Jazz music industry is a conglamorate of sophisticated musicians and singers with unmatched and incomprable musical skills-set that dazzle the eyes, and tingle the ears with captivating sound of voices and instruments. From comtemporary to the enchanting and haulucinating sound of fusion jazz, It seems like there's no limit to what today's jazz musicians can do. Regardless of genras, Jazz performing artists are in a league by themselves. They are completely liberated, unpridictable, and cannot be contained or confined.

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.
