[xatalantax]

"It all comes to life again this winter in Newport, with a city-wide series of programs exploring a lesser-known period in Newport’s remarkable history: the 1920s and ‘30s, whenNewport had swing and glamour, but change was in the air."

with the right group, I think I can make it down for those events (I have some demons in newport I need to exercise, and what better way then with music and friends!)

I'm totally up for cool jazz anytime. I need to find ppl who are into stuff like that.

I guess this is more than a jazz fest though.

Some vintage dancing friends of ours also go down to Newport for a week of vintage dance each year, including ball in mansion. We have never made it, but hear it is a good time. Mostly 1860s-1890s, though.
