NEWPORT JAZZ AND FOLK FESTIVALS
We celebrate epic moments in American music from the Newport Jazz and Folk Festivals-from Duke Ellington's 1956 comeback to Bob Dylan's 1965 electric revolution. First, an hour tribute to the Newport Jazz Festival with performances by Ray Charles, Mahalia Jackson, Louis Armstrong, and a visit from trumpet legend Clark Terry, who played with Ellington in '56. Then, the late festival founder George Wein shares his memories, such as the founding of the Folk Festival in 1959 that featured blues, gospel, country, Cajun and more; and folk singer Joan Baez recalls her Newport experiences. Plus Newport performances from Doc Watson, John Lee Hooker and others.
CELEBRATING JAZZ FEST AT 50: WITH DUKE ELLINGTON AND MAHALIA JACKSON
We're celebrating 50 years of the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival by looking back at historic performances from the first festival in 1970. We'll hear live recordings from Jazz Fest royalty, Duke Ellington and the Queen of Gospel, Mahalia Jackson. We'll start with commentary from jazz clarinetist Dr. Michael White on Duke Ellington's New Orleans Suite, which was commissioned by Jazz Fest founder George Wein, premiered at the 1970 festival, and was turned into an iconic studio recording. Then, we'll hear from Mahalia Jackson in her own words in historic interviews and performances. Also Irma Thomas' tribute in Jazz Fest's Gospel Tent; plus Jackson biographer Mark Burford and New Orleans gospel singer Cynthia Girtley on the Gospel Queen's legacy in and beyond New Orleans. Join us for Jazz Fest's 50th anniversary with a trip back to its birth in Congo Square, 1970. Photo by Michael P. Smith courtesy of The Historic New Orleans Collection
