Swingin at 96: Anat Cohen & the Newport All-Stars Salute George Wein

  • NJPAC 1 Center Street Newark NJ 07102 United States (map)

Pianist and bandleader George Wein, who founded the Newport Jazz Festival in 1954, is universally regarded as the single greatest producer and impresario jazz has ever known. This incredible evening will pay tribute to George’s 65+ years of great jazz concerts—and 96 years of living.

This all-star celebration will feature contemporary swing saxophonist and clarinetist Anat Cohen, along with special guests including Christian McBride, Kenny Barron, Randy Brecker, and Duchess, among others. Tickets and details available here.
