On a spirited Saturday, the Newport Jazz Festival defies labels
Other sets, too, fell squarely inside the jazz firmament. Trumpeter Terence Blanchard (whom McBride called a 'big brother') led his band through an atmospheric set on the Quad Stage inside the Fort Adams walls, drawing on his long track record as a composer for film and television. The young British saxophonist Nubya Garcia brought her big, Sonny Rollins-inspired tone and songs from her second album, 'Odyssey,' to the main stage. And the wonderfully inventive drummer Marcus Gilmore led a band in tribute to his late grandfather, the Boston-born Advertisement That ad-hoc band featured a quartet of ringers, led by alto saxophonist Kenny Garrett and supported by two Berklee College of Music faculty members, the pianist Danilo Pérez and bassist John Patitucci.

Rich Fury/Courtesy of the Newport Jazz Festival But the congenial crowd also heard plenty of sounds that stretched the boundaries of 'traditional' jazz. There was experimental chill-out music, Quiet Storm-style neo-soul, a banging DJ set from a descendant of jazz royalty, and a 75-minute finale from headliner Janelle Monáe that was heavy on the funk. Perhaps the most welcome surprise came from the Fleck, Castañeda, Sánchez Trio, which combined the virtuosic banjo playing of the restless bluegrass mainstay Béla Fleck with the superb drummer Antonio Sánchez, and the Colombian harpist Edmar Castañeda. Castañeda was a revelation. Attacking his instrument with flair and aggression, he's surely been called 'the Jimi Hendrix of the harp' elsewhere. The group call themselves the BEATrio, Sánchez explained, after their respective first-name initials. McBride and Newport Festivals Foundation executive director Jay Sweet have taken plenty of steps to acknowledge the listening habits of the younger cohort of their Newport fan base. Some in attendance seemed eager to see the mononymous Willow, the daughter of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith. Anchoring the last set on the Quad Stage, she and her ferocious, mostly women band tapped into '90s nostalgia and the singer's vocal range and dexterity on her latest tracks, including 'home' (co-written with Jon Batiste) and 'symptom of life.' Willow performs on Saturday at the Newport Jazz Festival. Rich Fury/Courtesy of the Newport Jazz Festiva Wearing headphones, the young British rap/R&B singer Samm Henshaw acknowledged that he hadn't performed live in a while. 'So you're all very scary to me right now,' he joked before teeing up some new songs with the crowd-pleasing 'How Does It Feel?,' his 2018 breakthrough. Other relative newcomers included KNOWER, an experimental mashup led by a punky frontwoman (Genevieve Artadi) and a drummer (Louis Cole) who drives the band from drum-and-bass to prog metal, and Rich Ruth, the full-band project of Nashvillean multi-instrumentalist Michael Ruth. Their unusual blend, including xylophone, violin, and baritone sax, resulted in an impressionistic, spacey-slash-spiritual sound that hit a sweet spot around midday. Advertisement The jazz royalty previously mentioned was Flying Lotus, the alter ego of DJ-producer Steven Ellison, who is the grandnephew of Alice Coltrane. FlyLo, as he's known, alternated between deafening video-game glitchery and rump-shaking classics (P-Funk, Kool & the Gang, an isolated guitar rhythm that sounded like KC and the Sunshine Band) at the Fort Stage. 'I don't know if you can tell,' he boomed from atop his perch. 'I'm trying to get you all to dance.' Flying Lotus, the grandnephew of Alice Coltrane, appears at the Fort Stage of the Newport Jazz Festival on Saturday. Rich Fury/Courtesy of the Newport JAzz It worked for him. Monáe, in the day's final slot on the main stage, had to work hard to keep the crowd from streaming toward the lines for the buses and water ferries. Fronting a dapper big band, she leaned into her defiant persona (on recent tracks 'Float' and 'Champagne [expletive]') before shouting out musical greats, from Prince, Nina Simone, and Miles Davis, to Sister Rosetta Tharpe. Bits of reggae, electronica, and James Brown surfaced in her music before an inevitable encore of 'Tightrope,' her biggest hit. Fitting for the setting, she wrapped up with 'Come Alive (War of the Roses),' a song that borrows from the Cab Calloway, call-and-response era of big band jazz. 'Categorize me, I defy every label,' she'd rapped earlier in the set, on 'Q.U.E.E.N.' They could have used that as the day's tagline.

King Charles speaks out after departure of longtime royal companion after 14 years of service
King Charles and his royal staffers have bid farewell to a longtime companion that had worked for the Firm for 14 years. Tyrone, a 19-year-old Windsor Grey horse, spent last week serving His Majesty for a final time — prompting Buckingham Palace to issue a touching statement in light of his retirement. 'After 14 years of noble service with the Royal Mews, we are celebrating Tyrone and wishing him a happy retirement,' the palace wrote on X. 5 King Charles and his royal staffers have bid farewell to a longtime companion that had worked for the Firm for 14 years. Getty Images Tyrone spent much of professional life pulling royal carriage during some of the monarchy's most significant moments, including royal weddings, state visits and even a coronation. The beloved animal's final ceremonial duty took place last month during French President Emmanuel Macron's state visit to the UK. Tyrone, who stands at 16 hands (or 6 feet tall), was described as a 'gentle and dependable giant' in the palace's poignant farewell message. He has now been reunited with his 26-year-old father, Storm, and 20-year-old sister, Meg — both of whom had served the royal family. 5 Tyrone, a 19-year-old Windsor Grey horse, spent last week serving His Majesty for a final time.

Getty Images 'All three horse were very dear to Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II,' the post continued. 'Tyrone will be missed by everyone at the Royal Mews, but it's wonderful that he'll be reunited with his father and sister. Thank you, Tyrone!' The palace's sweet post was accompanied by a series of images of Tyrone's most memorable moments throughout the years. Over the 14 years he served the British royal family, the beloved Irish draught horse tallied some impressive moments in history to his portfolio. 5 Tyrone later drew Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's royal carriage during their 2018 wedding procession.

He was later trusted with pulling the Gold State Coach for Their Majesties' return journey. The following summer, Tyrone led Princess Catherine and her three children in the Glass State Coach during the Trooping the Colour ceremony. The horse's service kickstarted in 2012 when he pulled the late Queen Elizabeth II's carriage. He later drew Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's royal carriage during their 2018 wedding procession. 5 Tyrone, who stands at 16 hands (or 6 feet tall), was described as a 'gentle and dependable giant' in the palace's poignant farewell message. Instagram/@theroyalfamily As an official 'wheeler,' Tyrone was expected to undertake heavy pulling work while remaining on his best behavior in front of large masses of people. The Windsor Grey has long been preferred by the British royals since Queen Victoria's era, and have attended some of the most important dates in the royal calendar over the decades.

A guide to every historical figure who's been on 'The Gilded Age'
"The Gilded Age" was renewed for a fourth season ahead of the season three finale. While some of its characters are fictional, the show is populated with real people from the era. Oscar Wilde, Booker T. Washington, and J. P. Morgan have all popped up on the show. There are few eras that have captivated people more than the Gilded Age, a period in the late 19th century characterized by extreme wealth (and wealth inequality), progress, immigration, and a certain ruthlessness from the businessmen of the age. And now, any history buff can tune into HBO's " The Gilded Age," which concludes its third season on August 10, to see this iconic time period brought to life. The show is populated by a mix of real-life historical figures, completely fictional creations, and a few characters who differ in name only from real people of the time. Here's a guide to every real person who made the jump from history books to HBO in "The Gilded Age." Carrie Coon plays Bertha Russell, who's based on Alva Vanderbilt. Alva Vanderbilt Belmont was a Gilded Age socialite who married a Vanderbilt railroad heir, William K. Vanderbilt. In 1882, the couple built a mansion that took up a whole city block on Fifth Avenue in New York City — much like the mansion the Russells move into in the series premiere. Bertha isn't exactly Alva, but the similarities are there, including Alva's hunger and determination to be accepted by the upper crust of New York society, her strong personality, and love of the opera. Vera Farmiga plays Bertha's daughter Gladys, based on Alva's daughter Consuelo. If there was any doubt that Bertha and Gladys were based on Alva and Consuelo, that ended when Gladys married off to a British duke against her will, in order to bring her family status and credibility. If you don't want to know what could happen to Gladys, skip ahead. In real life, Consuelo's marriage to Charles Spencer-Churchill, 9th Duke of Marlborough, was largely an unhappy one, though she and her husband mostly lived separately. They separated in 1906 and were officially divorced in 1921. The marriage was annulled in 1926. However, Bertha's husband George (Morgan Spector) isn't based on a Vanderbilt. Much of his character comes from Jay Gould. George is portrayed as a full-blown robber baron, much like Gould was. In fact, Gould is remembered as one of the most cutthroat railroad tycoons of the Gilded Age. As his Encyclopedia Britannica entry notes, he "remained ruthless, unscrupulous, and friendless to the end" before his death in 1892. George is similarly unafraid to cross anyone, as long as it benefits his bottom line. And much like Gould, while George spares no feelings for his competition, he does love his wife and children — and, as fans of the show have pointed out, is quite handsome. They even call him " Railroad Daddy." Peggy Scott, as played by Denée Benton, is inspired by a few real women, including Julia C. Collins. One of the first things we learn about Peggy is that she's an aspiring writer, and a talented one at that. It's clear that "Gilded Age" creator Julian Fellowes was inspired by Julia C. Collins, the first Black female author to publish a novel. Collins' book, "The Curse of Caste; or The Slave Bride," was published in serial form across eight months in 1865. However, she died of tuberculosis before she was able to finish it. Thankfully, Peggy has fully recovered from the illness she contracted at the beginning of season three. Donna Murphy plays Caroline Schermerhorn Astor, the queen of New York high society. During the Gilded Age, the undisputed queen of New York was Caroline Schermerhorn Astor, who, despite the enormous wealth of her husband, William Backhouse Astor Jr., was actually the richer of the two due to her family's wealth dating back to the first settlement of Manhattan by Dutch colonists in the 1600s. Astor was the leader of a group called the Four Hundred, a list that contained anyone who was anyone in the late 1800s. Perhaps coincidentally, her townhouse's ballroom could fit up to 400 people comfortably. Murphy, a two-time Tony Award winner, brings needed gravitas to the role. Caroline's youngest daughter, Carrie Astor, is played by Amy Forsyth. Carrie Astor has had a recurring role across "The Gilded Age," popping up across three seasons mainly to convince her mother to let the Russells become part of their elite group of friends. If the show follows what happened in real life, Carrie's future marriage to banker Marshall Orme Wilson will cause quite a stir, as her parents did not approve of the match. In fact, according to a biography of the Astors, Carrie "starved herself into bulimia" until her mother acquiesced. One of the show's more eclectic characters is Mamie Fish, played by Ashlie Atkinson. Fish is one of the first people we meet in "The Gilded Age," as Bertha and George's son Larry is invited to vacation at her home in Rhode Island. In real life, Fish was another one of the most powerful socialites of the era alongside Alva Vanderbilt and Tessie Fair. The three ruled as the "Triumvirate" after Caroline Astor's death in 1908. In both fiction and real life, Fish loved to throw a lavish party. Caroline Astor's right-hand man, Ward McAllister, is played by Nathan Lane, distinct mustache and all. While trying to make it as a writer, Peggy meets Timothy Thomas Fortune, played by Sullivan Jones. After deciding not to take her name off her writing to be published in white newspapers, Peggy meets Fortune, the real publisher of The New York Age, a leading Black newspaper of the day (called The New York Globe in the show). In both the show and reality, Fortune was married by the time of "The Gilded Age," but it didn't stop Peggy and Fortune from developing a relationship during season two. John Sanders plays the famous (and problematic) architect, Stanford White. If you've ever walked around Washington Square Park in Manhattan, you've seen one of White's most renowned pieces of work: the Washington Square Arch. In the show, White is also responsible for designing the Russells' behemoth of a townhouse on Fifth Avenue. In real life, White was involved in one of the era's biggest scandals. When he was 48, he was accused of drugging and sexually assaulting 16-year-old Evelyn Nesbit, a model and actor. In 1905, when Nesbit was 21, she married another prominent New York figure, Henry Kendall Thaw. When Thaw learned what White had done to his wife, he murdered him during a performance at Madison Square Garden (a building he designed). The subsequent trial was a media circus and was even dubbed the trial of the century. Public opinion of White plummeted during the trial when the public learned about his private life. According to The New York Times, Vanity Fair even ran this headline: "Stanford White, Voluptuary and Pervert, Dies the Death of a Dog." Clara Barton, as played by Linda Emond, appeared in the first season. In season one, Marian (Louisa Jacobson) takes her aunts to a talk being given by Barton, a Civil War nurse, voting rights and equal rights activist, and key member of the American Red Cross. J. P. Morgan, as played by Bill Camp, joined the cast in season three. The real Morgan was considered the greatest banker who ever lived, so it shouldn't be surprising that George, in need of capital, would turn to him for help. Jordan Waller played Oscar Wilde in a season two episode. The famous playwright and author of "The Portrait of Dorian Gray" popped up in season two while his play "Vera; or, The Nihilists" premiered in New York. Of course, he found time to hit on John Adams (Claybourne Elder), as well. Emily Warren Roebling, one of the engineers of the Brooklyn Bridge, was played by Liz Wisan in season two. Roebling essentially took over for her husband, Washington Roebling, as chief engineer of the Brooklyn Bridge after he developed decompression sickness and became bedridden. The Brooklyn Bridge is unveiled during a season two episode, and George sends his son, Larry (Harry Richardson), to represent him at a trustees meeting, when he discovers that Emily is the one running the show. Suffragist Sarah J. Garnet, as played by Melanie Nicholls-King, appears in season two as well. Nicholls-King appeared in three episodes of season two as Garnet, a landmark figure in Black history, as she was a principal, the founder of the Equal Suffrage League, and owned her own seamstress shop. Booker T. Washington, played by Michael Braugher, also appeared in two episodes of season two. Washington is known for his work in advancing the education of Black Americans in a post-Civil War America, including as the first leader of the Tuskegee Institute, which is now the HBCU (Historically Black College or University), Tuskegee University. Washington is in two episodes of the second season, when Peggy and Fortune make their way to Tuskegee to report on it for the newspaper. Gladys gets her portrait done by artist John Singer Sargent (played by Bobby Steggert). Sargent's season three appearance is in 1883, just before he became famous for his painting "Portrait of Madame X" in 1884 — in fact, he mentions the then-scandalous painting while speaking with Bertha, who notes that some scandal will only make him more expensive. Gladys' husband, Hector Vere, the Duke of Buckingham, is based on Charles Spencer-Churchill, the Duke of Marlborough. He's played by Ben Lamb. In the show and real life, this duke is desperate for a sizable dowry so he can continue upkeep on his castle (Sidmouth Castle in the show, Blenheim Palace in real life). However, Hector seems like he'll (hopefully) be a better husband to Gladys than Charles Spencer-Churchill was to Consuelo Vanderbilt. Frances Ellen Watkins Harper is played by LisaGay Hamilton in season three. Peggy brings Harper to a ladies' tea she's hosting to help drum up support for the suffrage movement, much to the displeasure of the conservative Elizabeth Kirkland (Phylicia Rashad). Harper was one of the first Black female authors to be published — and left behind a large body of work — and also was an activist for suffrage, temperance, and abolition. Russell Risley Sage, played by Peter McRobbie, joined the show in season three. When George is summoned to a meeting by J. P. Morgan, he meets other financiers, including Sage. Sage, in real life, worked closely with Jay Gould (if you'll recall, the basis for George's character). The two managed railroads together. However, in "The Gilded Age," the two have a much more adversarial relationship. Sage is perhaps most famous for surviving an assassination attempt at his office by using one of his employees, William R. Laidlaw Jr., as a human shield. Laidlaw survived but sued Sage after he was permanently disabled. As The New York Times put it, Sage was found to owe him $25,000, "simply because he used William R. Laidlaw, Jr., as a shield to save his gray hairs from being brought prematurely to the grave."
