Fans lap up T&T Jazz Week Teaser Last Wednesday (April 30th) the Trinidad and Tobago Jazz Week 2014 was launched in a cosy little venue on Albion Street, Port-of-Spain. During the event, the Live Arts Bistro took the opportunity to announce a week of jazz at venues in Port-of-Spain from June 23rd-28th in recognition of International Jazz Day, celebrated in 196 countries on April 30th. The audience were treated to some splendid jazz by a trio put together by Sean Thomas, on drums, Douglas Redon on double bass and Martiniquan Eddy Clarion on acoustic guitar. During a performance of Night and Day by Cole Porter, Thomas played an improvised electric drum solo and spoke to the crowd as he played. “See, with Jazz, these two guys could even stop playing right now and go to the bar and get a drink.”. He then instructed them to do just that. The National Academy of Performing Arts (NAPA) will be the centrepiece of June’s Jazz Week, hosting a concert on June 28th featuring calypsonian Mistah Shak, who will present a teaser for his bois-themed 2015 J’Ouvert band. The week will feature many other local artistes, including two alto saxophonists , Grace Kelly and Tia Fuller, Beyonce’s former saxophonist.
