Join is on Sunday, August 2nd at 8 PM on WRTI 90.1 as we present Part 1 of Jazz Night In America's three-part series on the Newport Jazz Festival. Philadelphia's own Christian McBride, the host of the program, also serves as the artistic director of the festival, and has some amazing vintage Newport performances to share. In the sophomore year of the festival, a young, rising star trumpeter named Clifford Brown took the stage with Charlie Parker sideman, and drummer Max Roach. In 1960, still riding the wave of success from their Time Out album (released the year before), The Dave Brubeck Quartet gave festival goers exactly what they wanted. Horace Silver, who had released six albums since his last Newport performance in 1955, was there with his killer quintet. Join us for this special programming to celebrate a summer jazz staple - the Newport Jazz Festival.
