The 2015 Newport Jazz Festival schedule is finally online! There's a lot to be excited about.

Sam Schwartz is known worldwide as Gridlock Sam, a nickname the media gave him for his role in coining the term, Gridlock. As New York City's traffic commissioner in the 1980's, he designed routes for numerous crowded corners.
