On July 4th KSDS-FM will be celebrating a major event. Sure, it's the nation’s birthday. But, in the season where jazz festivals predominate, we're going to celebrate the foundational one, the granddaddy of them all: the Newport Jazz Festival. It is to jazz festivals what the Rose Bowl once met to college football’s postseason and still means to parades. Of course, there's Monterey and Montreal and Marciac, North Sea and New Orleans, Copenhagen and even Clearwater, but Newport's the one that just matters more. 2024 marks the 70th anniversary of the first Newport Jazz Festival, and we plan to honor it's legacy, from the famous to the infamous and every legendary performance and recording in between. So join us at 8 a.m. on July 4th — and keep the radio or streaming device on till midnight — as we cover all things Newport Jazz Festival.
