City of London Festival

Inspired by the rhythms of traditional Jamaican music, original Jazz Warrior, and veteran jazz double bassist, Gary Crosby turned a musical concept into a joyful reality. Garys concept was to create a quintessential fusion of mento, ska, reggae and jazz, playing classic and modern jazz standards alongside Jamaican folksongs. To achieve this, he gathered together a group of musicians drawn from the jazz and reggae circuits, each of whom is a distinguished musician in his own right. Tonight featuring special guest, Jamaicas First Lady of Jazz, Myrna Hague.
