The Newport Jazz Festival turns 60 this year and a tremendous all-star band is playing selections that give a flavor for six decades of memorable artists and performances. I spoke with Randy Brecker about the tour and his co-conspirators; bandleader/saxophonist/clarinetist Anat Cohen, vocalist Karrin Allyson, guitarist Mark Whitfield, pianist Peter Martin, drummer Clarence Penn and bassist Ben Allison.
