Newport Jazz Festival

Started in 1954 by jazz pianist George Wein, the Newport Jazz Festival was the first outdoor festival entirely devoted to the jazz idiom. In its 50 year reign, it continues to be the model for jazz festivals everywhere. The name Newport has become synonymous with the history of jazz. It has hosted the greatest giants, geniuses, and innovators this art form has known.
