The legendary impresario has known some of the most celebrated figures of jazz - from Duke Ellington to Count Basie, and from Thelonious Monk to Miles Davis. As a founder of the Newport Jazz Festival, the Newport Folk Festival, and the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, Wein has brought a broad spectrum of musical artists to millions, forever changing the cultural landscape of this country.".
520 8 $a"Beginning in 1950 with the opening of Storyville in Boston, Wein presented jazz in a setting respectful of both the musicians and the audience. Since 1954, the Newport Jazz Festival has always reflected Wein's vision and grit, attracting music immortals as well as aspiring young artists to his stage. Over the years, Newport became synonymous with jazz festivals in the United States, and it has served as the model for festivals worldwide.".
520 8 $a"But Myself Among Others is also a personal memoir - of Wein's youth as a Jew in a suburb of Irish Boston, of his time in the Army as their "Number One Fuck Up" (his ability to play piano was the only thing that saved him), of his marriage to an African American woman at a time in history when it was illegal in 25 percent of the country, and of his eventual move to New York City to be closer to the music on which he built his life."--BOOK JACKET.
