1961 Newport Jazz Festival poster, 18 x 24, featuring Judy Garland. A tremendous array of jazz luminaries made the annual Newport festival a destination for like-minded fans of the uniquely American genre. Pioneers of the idiom included Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington, but Judy Garland's appearance, dubbed 'An Afternoon with Judy Garland,' was a much-anticipated highlight, and she did not disappoint the 6,000 in the audience. Garland's first-ever jazz festival, also her first daytime concert, was a rousing success. “It was like a giant living room with the window open….It was different working outdoors during the day," Judy stated. "I felt a little uncomfortable at the outset but warmed up after a few numbers…They were a wonderful audience.” She wasn't concerned about it being a Jazz festival because "I always go out to do the best show I can. In fact, I heard that the musicians out front and backstage liked my jazz numbers." 18 x 24. In fine condition, with some light toning and surface loss to the bottom corners.
