What's Up Newp
“I don’t want to let him or jazz history down,” said Christian McBride just days before he would assume the role of artistic director of the Newport Jazz Festival nearly a decade ago.
Of McBride, Wein had said, “he’s a together guy, an organizer.
When I say a leader, not a band leader – he happens to be a band leader – but he’s a leader of musicians.
Last Friday, McBride, a bassist and nine-time Grammy winner, announced he was moving on from his position as artistic director of the Newport Jazz Festival.
Wein announced in 2015 that after seven decades he was turning over the artistic direction for the Newport Jazz Festival to the well-acclaimed bassist, Christian McBride, beginning with the 2017 festival.
