NEWPORT, RI, November 24, 2014 – The Newport Jazz Festival® presented by Natixis Global Asset Management initiated a third full day of music at Fort Adams State Park in 2014 to present the panorama of energy and talent that George Wein and his veteran staff continue to find in young musicians currently searching for new directions in jazz.  Friday concerts at Fort Adams will return on July 31, 2015 with a stellar line-up, including Kneebody and the sophomore appearance of Snarky Puppy, as well as other artists who are emerging in the popular vein, while still maintaining time-honored jazz traditions. 

“What we created at the 60th anniversary festival has become the most exciting addition to the jazz festival in many years,” said George Wein, producer of the Newport Jazz Festival since its beginning in 1954.  “More than 2,500 people attended the Friday concerts at Fort Adams this past summer, and the spirit they brought was unbridled.

NEWPORT, RI, November 18, 2014 – Newport Festivals Foundation, Inc.™  (NFF) has exceeded its goal to raise $750,000 towards a three-to-one match to create a $1,000,000 artistic reserve grant from the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation (DDCF), it was announced today by George Wein, Chairman of NFF. The endowment is dedicated for the George Wein/Doris Duke Artistic Programming Fund, which will continue Mr. Wein’s goal of presenting emerging artists and new works at the world-renowned Newport Jazz Festival®.

“We are proud to have raised the funds ahead of schedule, and we are grateful for many generous contributions,” said Mr. Wein.  “However, we couldn’t have achieved this goal so quickly without the support of our dear friend Charlie Bourgeois. Charlie was with me from the very beginning, and his work with the press made the Newport Jazz Festival known around the world. He spearheaded the festival’s public relations efforts until he died in January at the age of 94. Yet, even in death, his love and dedication for the festival continue to live on through his substantial financial donation. There is much more work to be done to secure the future of the Newport Jazz Festival, and we thank the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation for its ongoing support.”
