A Blog Supreme will be on vacation until after Labor Day. Until then, we are periodically leaving you with some photographs from The NPR Jazz Photography Pool, like the one below.
Photographer Scott Bump writes:
The Newport Festivals — both folk and jazz — shrugged off their stuffy, old attitude this year with some fantastic performances from some great young players. From the absolutely jammed performance of Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros at the folk fest to Julian Lage, Jenny Scheinman and Jason Moran at the jazz festival, the shows were relevant and extremely well attended. This is Lucia Micarelli, notable for the range of music she plays from Led Zeppelin covers to her work with Yael Biz's The Love Project. Here she is closing the jazz festival on the main stage with Chris Botti.
Here's the original, and a link to Scott Bump's website and Flickr photostream. You may recall NPR Music recorded much of the CareFusion Newport Jazz Festival (and Folk Festival) this year. And feel free to contribute your jazz shots to the NPR Jazz Flickr group.
