Jazz @ The Carib, Concert 2 – Caribbean Anthems

Following on from a successful opening night in September, Jazz @ The Carib returns for Concert 2 on October 21st featuring the prolific Rellon Brown and his Calypso Jazz band Dominant Seventh Orchestra in a Calypso History Month tribute.

“Calypso Anthem”, as the show is titled, will be an ode to the rich and colourful social commentary calypso to be found in the last half of the 20th century. Translating that for the live stage, and joining Brown and band, will be The Holistic X Band, as well as young musicians/artistes of the Holistic X Band who will lend their voices to some of the famous calypsos planned for the evening, such as: Denyse Plummer’s ‘Nah Leaving’; ‘The Journey’ by Christopher ‘Tambu’ Herbert; ‘Progress’ by King Austin; and Stalin’s ‘We Could Make It If We Try’, alongside many more.

Musically arranged by Brown and The Dominant Seventh, the concert’s repertoire was chosen to represent a broad spectrum of artistes, but dovetail into one common theme: Nation Building.
