From its inception, the Newport Jazz Festival has been known for bringing in performers who represent diversity and excellence in jazz, America's only original musical genre. The line-up for the JVC Jazz Festival - Newport, RI, to be held August 11 - 13 includes the McCoy Tyner Impulse Records All-star Sextet with Donald Harrison, Wallace Roney, Steve Turre, Charnett Moffett, Eric Gravatt & Eric Alexander; the powerhouse duo of Eddie Palmieri & Brian Lynch; and Jenny Scheinman, whose album was considered one of the best of the year by the New York Times, have been added to an already star-studded roster," said Wein. George Benson, Al Jarreau, Dave Brubeck are just a few of the other artists that are part of the 52nd year of the famed Newport Jazz Festival, now sponsored by JVC.

George Wein, 80-years old, has produced the festival since it's inception in 1954, added, "I'm as proud of the 2006 JVC Jazz Festival Newport as any event I've ever created. It represents a total picture of what the jazz scene is in America today."
