Wein said that the festival has become a success in New York because "there was a need for it." "We filled a void because noth- ing new had been happening in New York for several years," he said. "There were the concerts in the parks and the New York Summer Festival, but finally something came along that was a headliner for the summer festi- val and it really caught hold." RESPONDING to the jazz ex- plosion on an even larger scale, Wein will produce satellite New- port concerts in 12-cities across the country during the summer. There will be concerts in New Orleans, the birthplace of jazz, Hampton, Va., the Bay Area Jazz Festival in San Francisco and Oakland and Newport West in Los Angeles. THERE ALSO will be interna- tional tours that will take Wein and his "Giants of Jazz" to "ev- ery. major city in Europe," Ja- pan and possibly-to Africa. In all, Newport concerts will be given in some 30 to 40 cities around the world, The list of artists appearing at the Newport Festival-New York reads like a Who's Who of jazz. Benny Goodman, B. B.
