Blogging will be a bit abbreviated today. I'm already behind schedule to catch my plane to Providence, R.I. — which is an hour away from Newport, R.I. — where NPR Music, with WBGO and WGBH are Webcasting, recording for online archive and covering lotsa good stuff from this year's jazz festival all weekend long. Again! All pertinent info is found here: www.npr.org/newportjazz

@blogsupreme on Twitter will be documenting this weekend in 140-character fits and starts. Also, it's my plan that this space be updated with photos, recaps, features, etc.

In the meanwhile, have this clip from the 1958 Newport Jazz Festival (I presume from Jazz On A Summer's Day? via @sethcolterwalls). Pops is all up in it:

(Lookit all the young people tripping out in the crowd!)
