The renowned Jamaica Jazz and Blues festival at the Trelawny Stadium is ready to go today ! The much anticipated fest spans January 29th -31st where many exciting and promising acts will perform. The likes of international sensation Mariah Carey and the band behind the hit "Rude",MAGIC! along with the "Best Reggae Album" Grammy nominated Soja also join the interesting line-up that the festival promises this year.
According to Jazz organizers, “Jamaica Jazz and Blues in 2015 is all about connecting patrons to their inner fun self via musical performances that inspire, uplifts and puts people in a good mood. That’s why we thought to sprinkle a bit of MAGIC! on the Festival!"
Jamaican favourites George Nooks,Richie Stephens,Morgan Heritage,Errol Dunkley and Johnny Clarke among others will also grace the three day thriller.
The 2015 staging is headlined by international diva, Mariah Carey who performs on Friday, January 30. If you were ever a true Mariah fan ,you'd probably be screaming one of her chart topping songs trying in earnest to hit those ceiling high notes right until you get to the concert to chime in with the world renowned songstress.
Throughout the years of the festival's existence,its performances have been well received and the production proves to be of world class standing.Thus patrons expect more and more each year, after all it is said the Jamaican crowd is among one of the hardest to please. That said, Mariah should recover well from her last big gig,if she manages to sway the 2015 Jazz and Blues crowd (no hate,we love Mariah) :)
Seven time Grammy nominee ,Charlie Wilson along with international reggae band SOJA, and MAGIC! also appear on Saturday January 31.
