Newport Jazz Millenium Celebration
KITTY MARGOLIS
This Bay Area–based singer has re–invented jazz vocals with a blend of high–wire scat, multicultural world–beat grooves, simmering jazz–funk, soul–shaking blues and seductive balladry. The contralto who's been compared to Ella Fitzgerald and wowed them at leading festivals and clubs is "the real thing in jazz" (Chicago Tribune).
Campus Theatre $18
NEWPORT JAZZ MILLENIUM CELEBRATION
Legendary producer George Wein said "To see this concert is to know what jazz was – and is – in the 20th century." A generational mix of greats, including Nicholas Payton, "Red" Holloway, Cedar Walton and Randy Brecker, honors 100 years of America's indigenous art form.
Marsee Auditorium $29 / $26 (Children 12 & under $8)
