“Fifty years later the Newport festival …celebrated itself from Friday to Sunday in Fort Adams State Park on Newport Harbor. It could be argued that jazz, in one form or another, has been as much accepted in social and commercial life as it ever will be; the only issues left are aesthetic ones. This year Mr. Wein decided to leach the smooth jazz and pop from the festival and present what he thinks of as ‘real jazz.’ The festival wasn’t going to put on makeup anymore.” (New York Times)
