Especially after attending for nearly two decades, this author has a deep admiration and respect for the Newport Jazz Festival. Our site extensively covers the history of the legendary festival from before its formation to the present<\/a>. Under normal circumstances, our site would feature coverage from Fort Adams of the 2022 Festival. However, due to personal obligations, there will be no live reviews of this Summer\u2019s event. Instead, the author previews what he anticipates will be the weekend\u2019s finest performances. Many publications highlight a small number of acts across the weekend as the \u201cacts to watch.\u201d What sets this post apart from those is that our author does not select a small number of sets across the entire weekend. Instead, we provide a proposed schedule to follow each day. Here is the recommended schedule for Friday, July 29th.Click here<\/a> for Saturday and here<\/a> for Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

11:00 AM – 11:40 AM – Michela Marino Lerman (Harbor Stage)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To a distant observer, it may seem unusual for a tap dancer to perform at a music festival dedicated to jazz. But a closer look shows both a shared history of the two forms and a commonality of focus, including improvisation, polyrhythmic structures, and even a \u201cswinging\u201d quality. Marino Lerman is at the top of her craft. She has studied with Buster Brown and Gregory Hines and has performed with an incredible array of musicians, including Benny Golson, Roy Hargrove, Rashied Ali, and Reggie Workman. So, check out the only act at Newport this year by someone who is not a musician in its narrowest sense but nevertheless every bit as indebted to rhythm and phrasing as even the greatest instrumentalist.<\/p>\n\n\n
