1958 Newport Jazz Festival. Beautifully documented by fashion photographer Bert Stern. Ft. all of the jazz legends, crowds, outfits … and most importantly, Anita O’Day’s iconic performance of Sweet Georgia Brown and Tea for Two. After reading her autobiography I learned that she was high on heroin at the time. Her performance, specifically, is one of my comfort watches on YouTube.

Being raised on jazz (mostly cool and modern), vocal jazz was a bit of a departure for me. If you like the soft dreamy feel of Chet Baker with an influx of whimsy and humor, check out Blossom Dearie. She’s absolutely charming and a little bit wistful!

My old-time/folk (very much not jazz) band played a show at a brewery on the patio, and some older guy leaned over to his buddy and said, "Now this is the life. *gestures* Beautiful women and jazz music."

Multiple reasons to visit NGA, but the free screenings are among the top for me. Thought provoking programming that is usually tied in some way to ongoing exhibitions. I don’t watch trailers so I love to go in there without any expectations. Shout out to the lush red velvet seating - so cozy.
