WBGO, July 25, 2008 - Creative pairings of top-flight artists once again fill the program at the JVC Jazz Festival Newport. Fresh off his surprising Grammy win for Album of the Year, veteran pianist Herbie Hancock will headline a lineup featuring such all-star collaborations as Guillermo Klein & Los Guachos. NPR Music and WBGO will webcast performances from these groups and more, live from Newport on the weekend of Aug. 9-10.

Held every summer for 55 years running, the JVC Jazz Festival Newport is among the events for jazz enthusiasts worldwide. In 1954, nightclub owner and pianist George Wein created the "First American Jazz Festival" in Newport, R.I., with the assistance and financial backing of Elaine Lorillard. Throughout the half-century that followed, Newport attracted virtually all the top names in jazz, and became known as a breeding ground for new talent. The annual event is now known as the "grandfather" of all jazz festivals.
