Newport Jazz Festival

Jazz on the White House Lawn

One of the most delightful memories I have of my time spent in Washington DC during Jimmy Carter’s tenure, was his support for jazz while he lived at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.  

My most prized momento from that period is my invitation to a jazz concert on the White House lawn on June 18, 1978, held in honor of the 25th Anniversary of the Newport Jazz Festival.
