Summary: In 1954 socialite Elaine Lorillard financed a Jazz Festival at Newport Rhode Island. She hired Jazz promoter George Wein to organize. It became the place to be for many aspects of that great Art for many years. In 1959 Wein expanded the notion to Folk, Blues and Bluegrass. The results are historic.
