Newport Jazz Festival Preview 2012

This is our Newport Jazz Festival Preview show for 2012. The festival takes place at Newport RI, Fort Adam State Park next weekend, August 4-5. On this show I outline the lineup for both days, and play some music from the artists we are likely to hear. We are covering the Festival for WHUS FM. We will be taking photos, conducting interviews and live tweeting from the events. Follow Digginjazz on Twitter for more information. If you are at the festival, look for me in my WHUS t-shirt and come over to say hello! Hope to see you there.
