Celebrating 19 years of our love for Jazz

Will you join us?

Performers in this video:

Eclectic band: Marcarios Cesaire, Roland Cameau, Christopher Fletcher, Yayoi Ikawa, Motoki Mihara, Smooth Jude, Gashford Guillaume, Russell Pierre and Gary Sylvain.

From CESIMI: Harry Mirville, Carl Cesar, Marthelly Cesar, Mary Joelle Cesar, Ashley Simon, Martine Mirville, Doris Simon, Smooth Jude, Andrew Simon, Justin Mlrville, Herold Simon and Nicole Francis as an extended family member of CESIMI. Adeos Yeboah joined as a master dancer. Mahalia has been a special guest to the Jazz Festival two years in a row.

Honored to have had the impromptu performance by Yves Joseph (Fanfan Tibot) and Yvon Andre (Kapi) playing 3 songs of their own Tabou Combo along with CESIMI and the other formidable musicians, the gig was electrifying and set a new record for the festival. Chadwick Simon was the fervent Master of Ceremony, 2 years in a row. To fill a growing need, Marie Joelle Cesar has provided additional land space to accommodate more attendees from year to year, thus adding to the audience's comfort.

 A great deal of friends, too many to cite in this limited writing, help set the overall stage including audience sitting and many other vital activities for the event, but all involved have received credit as documented in the video. The video displays the name of all longstanding supporters and helpers as well.
