Newport Jazz Fest 2023!
Another Jazz Fest for the history books!
I only went to the Sunday program this year, and it was still an amazing experience, although I really hated that I missed Big Freedia on Friday. I jammed out to Cimafunk, an Afro-Cuban jazz funk band. It was also great to see hip-hop legends Rakim, Talib Kweli, and, of course, Herbie Hancock. However, Samara Joy was the biggest highlight for me. She is a rising star in the music world, and I anticipate great things for her in the future!
