NPR Music was at this year's edition of the venerable jazz festival at Newport, capturing great performances by everyone from Dave Brubeck, Joe Lovano, Esperanza Spalding, and Brian Blade, to Branford Marsalis, Miguel Zenon, and Berklee's own Roy Guzman Quintet. NPR is streaming the group's set, recorded by Berklee engineer Chris Wainwright, right alongside those of the masters.
