Jazz... oh Jazz, where have you been? Obviously, it is about time you showed up yet again to the doors of the Portsmouth historical arena- The Cabrits National Park. Surely, we have not seen your face since last year this time around and have greatly missed you like that of a 'go-pwell' in its initial stages. :) Oh but a tangled web but here you are again and we are here to bask into your rhythmic grace. Your powerful melodies and pure intellectual insight does but many things but more importantly, brings persons from all over the land, and by extension the Caribbean, together as one. Jazz music, creole music is no stranger to the Caribbean population and has been digging its pipes into the hearts of the younger generation! What a positive role model you are and we are BrBpTV would like to say how much we appreciate you.
The sweet aroma of the wind instruments, the vibration on the percussion and of course the plucking and tucking of the string instruments are but music of its own! But! What is a Callaloo or a cantaloupe soup without without some juice to wash it down? The vocals of the powerful Caribbean Artists on display here today are none other than Michele Henderson of Dominica, Monty Alexander of Jamaica and the Haitian born, Beethova Obas, all made it to grace the stage of the Jazz & Creole Festival. In addition, the event also brought to the stage none other than local female vocalists, Joy Stoute, Mel-C, and Tiffany Mayne who all did mind blowing performances in addition to the steel pan group known as the Phase 5 band. Nothing but greatness hit the stage starting from 2:00PM going all through the evening up until minutes after 11:00PM. Take a look at the main features of the evening and be bombarded with the soothing sounds of Jazz and Creole.
