Detroit and Chicago close out their free festival weekends, Monterey is next, and the whole field is leaning toward Coltrane's centennial. Then Sekou tells the story of Newport, 1956, and twenty-seven choruses played into the wrong microphone. | The Lead: Detroit's 47th year and Chicago's four free days at Millennium Park are done, Monterey is next on the 25th, and the thread running through all of it is Coltrane's centennial later this month. Listen to This: Branford Marsalis and Dianne Reeves share the single "Dedicated to You" ahead of their September 18th Coltrane tribute, with Linda Sikhakhane's "LINDA" still holding the new release desk. The Bridge: Newport, Rhode Island, a Saturday night in July of 1956, and twenty-seven choruses played into the wrong microphone. On the Road: Nanny Assis and Toninho Horta take two sets at Blues Alley in Washington, with Baltimore, New York, Chicago and Austin in the sweep and two rooms dark. One More Note: September 8th belongs to bass players: Oscar Pettiford died on this date in 1960 at 37, and Wilbur Ware was born on it in 1923. | The Daily Quintet is an AI-crafted production, researched and checked by humans. Every listing you hear came from the venue or the festival's own organizer.
