Jamaica Jazz and Blues Festival kicked off Thursday evening with up-and-coming acts showcasing their talent to the world, in the first online version of the event which is resuming after a five-year hiatus.
There were pulsating melodies for the approximately three hours that the show lasted, with the newly minted bands and individual players of instruments drawing on material from different genres of music, with reggae being the focal point.
Intertwined between the performances were advertisements, messages and interviews from the sponsors and a message from past performer Billy Ocean, with host Debbie Bissoon expertly blending all the pieces together.
