“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.”
