The Newport Folk and Jazz festivals are still going strong, 64 years after the first edition. I spoke with festival executive director Jay Sweet about putting them together.
The jazz lineup the following weekend is just as impressive with Jon Batiste, Herbie Hancock, Diana Krall, Samara Joy, Kamasi Washington, Thundercat, Matthew Whitaker, Christian McBride's Jam Jawn, Domi & Jo Beck and more.
Baltin: You have a great lineup this year. Jon Batiste, Herbie Hancock, Diana Krall, so many great people. I'm focusing now just for a second on the jazz best, Big Freedia, Marcus Miller, talk to me a little bit about how you start to put together this line-up and when you do so. Baltin; As you say, there's the core base that sells out Newport Folk Festival automatically. But it's like when Coachella has Beyonce a few years ago, then it attracts a level of people who may not be aware of it or who haven't thought about it in a long time.
