Festival Jazz Offer Spurs A New Era In Names
Don Wilsons Isk Erby festival at Freebody park showcased rising jazz talents over four days. Cannonball Adderley, Dave Brubeck, Herbie Mann, Romney Lewis led strong sets while big-name crowd-pleasers were fewer than expected. Joe Williams, Nancy Wilson, Stan Kenton and Duke Ellington appeared, signaling a shift toward non superstar acts driving big business. New albums from Newport acts include Joe Daly Trio, Martial Solon, then Lambert Hendricks and Bavan, and Sonny Rollins.
