Thanks to Mike Lynch, a Pensacola avid jazzfan, for this article.  It’s long and covers George Wein’s history, founding of Newport Jazz Festival, and high and low points of that long history.  Even though I had read Wein’s autobiography with co-author Nate Chinen  when it came out several years ago, I learned some new aspects of his life and the article brings us up-to-date on his current status.  For Those of you who are not interested,  it’s easier to skip  a short link-listing.  For those interested, the extra step is  worth the read. (smile)
