NEWPORT, RI, January 29, 2015 – Celebrating music made in Chicago and one of the world’s premier backup singers, George Wein is pleased to announce the additions of Jack DeJohnette: Made in Chicago and Ms. Lisa Fischer and Grand Baton to the lineup of the 2015 Newport Jazz Festival® presented by Natixis Global Asset Management July 31 – August 2.

“One of the joys of producing the Newport Jazz Festival since 1954 is the privilege of having been involved with just about every era and style of jazz. One notable example is the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM). Jack DeJohnette has put together some of his colleagues from this Chicago-born organization, and we’re pleased that they will make a stop at this year’s festival,” said Wein. “We’re also looking forward to seeing Lisa Fischer, who has performed with musicians from just about every genre, when she returns to Newport with her creative style and spirit.”
