For more than seven decades, the annual Newport Jazz Festival has brought generations of jazz musicians and fans together. This year’s festival, the 71st, held at Fort Adams State Park from August 1-3, drew 10,000 people daily to its seaside stages.

Among Sunday’s star performers were Cécile McLorin Salvant and Esperanza Spalding — two vocalists more frequently seen in concert halls or in intimate club settings. Each has a strong following internationally and in Greater Boston. On August 10, Spalding performed with pianist Leonardo Genovese in the Shalin Liu Performance Center in Rockport, presented by Rockport Music. And on November 1, Salvant returns to the Berklee Performance Center, presented by the Celebrity Series of Boston.
