A capacity crowd of about 10,000 people braved heat and humidity to witness the 70th anniversary of the Newport Jazz Festival, one of the largest music festivals in New England.

Following their Newport Jazz Festival appearance, Baker and his rhythm section – Carabello, Grant, and Aggrey – are set to close out the festival festivities with a jam session at The Parlor in Newport from 9 p.m. to midnight on Aug. 4.

“To be able to play my own music meant a lot to me, and to have my daughter in the audience made it more special,” Mulherkar said.
