Jazz in the Islands

Jazz in the Islands is a multimedia platform for Caribbean jazz music. Magazine, podcast, blog, more.

"Jazz in the Islands" serves as a fillip to the dearth of collated information on Caribbean Jazz CD releases, artists and reviews of festivals and showcases in the Caribbean featuring this fusion exercise we call “jazz.” Throughout the magazine, the reader will see a sampling of album releases from up to a decade ago with embedded QR codes for scanning with a smart phone app that links one directl

y to the purchase point of the album. In addition to this digital edition, the magazine will appear periodically as a print edition. This music never gets old so the joy in reminiscing is real and productive.

Etienne Charles said of Chucho Valdés being at A Creole Christmas Gift: Concert and Cocktails, “I think, one, it’s special, and two, it’s kind of a once-in-a-lifetime event for TT to have an artist of this magnitude in what I would say is such an intimate setting... To have him on our shores for a concert is special!”

The New York Times calls Cuban pianist, composer and seven-time Grammy winner Chucho Valdés, “A pianist of imperial command, possessed of a dazzling, deceptively casual virtuosity,” and refers to Trinidadian … Continue reading Etienne Charles: Special to have Chucho Valdés performing in Trin...

The countdown is on... Tickets at @napa_tnt box office. @hadcoexperiences presents @chuchovaldesmusic and @etiennejazz A Creole Christmas Gift: Concert and Cocktails

A Creole Christmas Gift: Concert and Cocktails is a must-attend holiday experience with @chuchovaldesmusic and @etiennejazz and more.

A Creole Christmas Gift: Concert + Cocktails, featuring 7-time Grammy award winning Jazz pianist Chucho Valdés and Guggenheim Fellow Etienne Charles, is a once in a lifetime event that signals HADCO Experiences’ expansion from authentically Trinbagonian ecotourism experiences into the premium event experiences space with a decidedly Caribbean flavour. Set for Saturday, 16 December at the Lord Kitchener Auditorium of the National Academy of Performing Arts, this event will showcase Caribbean music legend Valdés in the Royal Quartet and globe-trotting Trinidadian musician Charles and his Creole Soul band in a celebration showing appreciation through music, food and festivity with a focus on how we in the wider Caribbean celebrate the Christmas season. A Creole Christmas Gift: Concert + Cocktails is more than a jazz concert. It is a creole holiday celebration that is a must-attend celebration of us in the Caribbean. The music connects us as only we can. Original and traditional: Venezuelan parang, parranda, Christmas kaisos, Afro-Cuban jazz that say, “may the Orixá dance in your house and bless your family. Axé!” A post-concert “cocktails and jorts”, mix and mingle, adds the celebratory conclusion to this event that marks a series of firsts, and expands the local audience that is both attuned to our local traditions and willing to discover the new. https://islandetickets.com/event/acreolechristmasgift

New podcast alert! @etiennejazz Etienne Charles is a creole soul. A Caribbean intellectual and sublime musician who positions the "native gaze" to reflect a new perspective on the wider Americas beyond a boundary. From Trinidad, with a trumpet in his hand and a rhythm in his veins, he has, over an 18-year recording career, observed and composed music that "re-charts the ruins," excavates supressed histories, and elevates island ideas over metropolitan ideals. Post-pandemic, he was busy with his "San Juan Hill: New York Story" commission from the NY Philharmonic, and the release of 2 limited edition albums: unique quartet music, Traces, and a live recording of his Creole Soul band in San Francisco where a new piece recalling the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre had its debut. With more recording to come, the creole soul never sleeps. Link in bio, click Podcast. #creolesoul

#SaintLuciaJazz 2023. Tickets available now.

San Juan Hill: A New York Story. West Indian stories, the American dream, the heart of Blackness, the gentrification, the new New York. Etienne Charles has built a orchestral piece using these "fragments of epic memory" to showcase Caribbean brilliance. Lincoln Center, New York Philharmonic, Creole Soul. Genius personified.

Jazz in the Islands updates its brand

Jazz in the Islands serves as a fillip to the dearth of collated information on Caribbean Jazz CD releases, artists and reviews of festivals and showcases in the Caribbean featuring this fusion exercise we call “jazz.” This music never gets old so the joy in reminiscing is real and productive.

The Magazine – print and digital – is dedicated to compiling and reviewing Caribbean jazz music, musicians and festivals throughout the islands. Throughout the print edition of the magazine, the reader will see a sampling of album releases from up to a decade ago with embedded QR codes for scanning with a smart phone app that links one directly to the purchase point of the album. (Digital editions have simple click/touch and go links.) The magazine is published by Jett Samm Publishing and is free and distributed in print in Trinidad and Tobago and the islands, and online to the world. Request an Advertising Media Kit.

The Blog — subtitled Jazz and other sounds in the Caribbean — include thoughts, impressions and criticism. It is a collection of critical appraisals of music performance and recordings from the Caribbean, and opinions on the business of music here. This blog also serves as an extension of the Jazz in the Islands magazine.

Island Jazz Chat is a Jazz in the Islands podcast featuring conversations with Caribbean jazz and panjazz musicians based in the islands and the diaspora. Powered by iRADIO.tt
