Celebrating the Sagittarius with Jazz Music!
If you’re a lover of Caribbean Jazz music, well Kaiso Blues Café (Trinidad) was the place to be on Wednesday 18th December, 2019 as David Boothman and the Caribbean Renaissance Jazz Ensemble brought the house down in an intimate celebratory jazz performance concert.
The popular creative hub hosted the Sagittarius Jazz Night and Birthday Bash celebration which featured David Boothman and the CR Jazz Crew. Some of the musical talents on display included Russell Durity on the Bass, Rene Aleong on the Percussion, Nicholas Thomas on the drums, Jamie Ghany on the Sax and many more.
Love was clearly in the air as sweet soothing jazz music filled the night. The audience, clearly jazz music enthusiasts were glued to their seats with their eyes and ears focused on the stage. David Boothman interacted with the audience throughout the night, as he introduced many of his musical masterpieces which included songs like ‘Caravan’, ‘Cosmic Flow’, ‘Tan Tan’, ‘In de Caribbean’ and so much more as he set the mood for a suave crowd.
Also making a soulful appearance on the steelpan, was the distinguished Dougie Redon blessing the crowd with a dynamic solo performance alongside the CR Jazz Ensemble.
Other highlights of the night included the CR Jazz Crew live performance alongside the talented and stylish songstress Sola as she performed ‘This Year’ and ‘Afro Blue’, adding a unique experience to the night.
This was truly a unique way to celebrate the Sagittarius season in fine Jazz style with one of the best Jazz Ensemble in the region. We at Caribbean Entertainment Hub would like to congratulate David Boothman and his team for a spectacular night and we look forward to more live Jazz performances in 2020 and beyond.
