Description

Jazz Jamaica All Stars- September 11, 2022 - Anthony’s Cari-Jazz Artiste of the Day
Jazz Jamaica was the brainchild of Gary Crosby, a double-bass player from London, England. Jazz Jamaica's sound is rooted in the more complex rhythms of reggae, using that as a jumping-off point to the infinite spaces of jazz.
The band have toured extensively, playing worldwide festivals from 1993 to the present day. Jazz Jamaica released the CD Skaravan in 1994. Tracks included ska versions of ‘The Peanut Vendor’, and Charlie Parker’s ‘Barbados’. The release of The Jamaican Beat found the musicians playing alongside Courtney Pine, Brian Edwards, Cleveland Watkiss and Julie Dexter. The album leant heavily towards jazz while remaining faithful to the initial concept of a ska fusion. In 1995, sponsored by the British Council, they toured Senegal and Nigeria, featuring a performance at the British Embassy in Senegal, and a live jamming session with the Nigerian ensemble Fran And Tunde Kuboye And The Extended Family Band, who supported Jazz Jamaica on their UK tour in October.
The 2005 release Motorcity Roots even included a guest appearance from trade union leader Bill Morris, narrating a version of Marvin Gaye’s ‘What’s Going On’. In addition to his Jazz Jamaica commitments, Crosby also leads a jazz ensemble known as Gary Crosby’s Nu Troop. In 1997, they contributed a competent skazz version of ‘Wrapped Around Your Finger’ to the Police tribute album.
