On this edition I am exploring "JAZZ JAMAICA" and like to introduce you to a couple of artists who are inspired by the rhythms of traditional Jamaican music and integrated them into the largely improvisational nature of Jazz. You can hear musicians like Monty Alexander, Ernest Ranglin, Vic Bennett, Harold McNair, Joe Harriott, the Jazz Warriors, Gary Crosby and the Jazz Jamaica All Stars as well as Courtney Pine. Please come on in for some lively sunshinemusic to fight those dull, dark and rainy November days.
