Han Oh & Gwilym Simcock plus Lean On Me: Josè James Celebrates Bill Withers

Natixis Investment Managers. The concert
takes place August 3 at the International Tennis Hall of Fame at the Newport
Casino, 194 Bellevue Avenue. The cocktail party begins at 6:30 pm, followed by
the concert at 8:00 pm.
"Pat
Metheny is someone I first admired from afar, then wound up having the
privilege of working with over the last 25 years. I consider him a true friend,
a mentor and a constant source of inspiration, on and offstage," said
Artistic Director Christian McBride. "Every time he makes music, the world
listens. It's an honor to have him at Newport Jazz Festival this year."
McBride
added, "I first met and worked with Josè James 10 years ago. I was the
musical director for a Marvin Gaye tribute. I didn't know who he was then, but
a number of musicians I respect told me I should hook up with him because he
was a star in the making. They couldn't have been more correct. Josè has become
one of the major voices of this generation and I can't wait to see and hear him
wow the audience at Newport again."
