As we emerge from lockdown, the legendary Jazz Jamaica look forward to bringing a ray of Caribbean sunshine to Sage Gateshead on Friday 18th June.

Established in 1991 by the hugely respected double bassist Gary Crosby OBE, Jazz Jamaica have been entertaining audiences with exuberant live performances and dynamic album releases over the past three decades and have rightly earned the reputation as ‘one of the UK’s leading good-time bands’ (The Independent).

“Jazz Jamaica…a national treasure. Joy and exhilaration fill the airIndependent On Sunday

Performing to a reduced capacity audience at Sage Gateshead, the 11-piece Jazz Jamaica will pay homage to the pioneering record label Trojan Records. Established in 1968, the London-based company was the first to distribute the music of Jamaica on a grand scale, becoming for many in the UK the first point of contact with Jamaican music and culture.  From the beginning Trojan encouraged people to celebrate and unite through music, breaking down barriers and promoting inclusivity

“Unashamedly enjoyable” The Financial Times

Jazz Jamaica will perform hits from the vaults of Trojan Records such as LiquidatorDouble BarrelAgain and My Boy Lollipop as well as classics from the Jazz Jamaica cannon.

Dust off your dancing shoes and get ready for a joyously good time.

 

Jazz Jamaica is produced by Tomorrow’s Warriors, a pioneering talent development organization, creative producer, music educator and charity specializing in jazz that celebrates its 30th year in 2021.

Ladies of Midnight Blue are an Afro-Latin percussion & brass duet comprised of Hannabiell Sanders (Bass Trombone, African & Latin Percussion and Composer) and Yilis del Carmen Suriel (African & Latin Percussion). They create a powerful and upbeat fusion which reaches deeply into trance drum rhythms to create a melodic sound that inspires dancing and audience participation.
