"Things ain't what they used to be." ~ Duke Ellington

Only In Rhode Island is delighted to offer some of the most important music ever recorded - live festival performances by jazz, blues, and folk legends from Miles Davis, Ella Fitgerald, and John Coltrane, to Billie Holiday, Muddy Waters, Mississippi John Hurt, Joan Baez, and Pete Seeger. Continuing the tradition of excellence we have blues favorite James Montgomery and the grammy-winning music of Newport Classic. These are not mainstream pop idols, but true masters of the artform in touch with their musical roots. You don't just listen to music like this - you feel it.
