    Thank you to all who limed, who discovered the music, who played, who paid. See you on March 28, 2020 for the 18th edition of Jazz Artists on the Greens™. Visit us on Facebook and Instagram

The Premier Caribbean Jazz festival in the Islands

World-class regional and local talent in a relaxed jazz picnic ambience combine to create the ultimate jazz experience. "Come for the lime…Discover the music!" continues to resonate as a stamp of approval as patrons will again be entertained by some of the best talent in the industry.

In 2019, the cast of regional artists are Cuban pianist and singer Janysett McPherson celebrating the Latin American influence in the jazz; contemporary jazz guitarist and Caribbean jazz icon Ronald 'Boo' Hinkson from St Lucia; steelpan jazz virtuoso Leon Foster Thomas from Trinidad and Tobago along with local supporting acts, the EFX The Band (Emile Fortune Xperiment) and the Holistic Music School Orchestra. Exocubs Steel Orchestra will play on the Greens for arriving patrons. This mix of Creole and contemporary jazz, smooth jazz and sonic improvised experiments that utilise the best of local music and original music creates an atmosphere that complements the experience of a jazz picnic with opportunities for music and merchandise purchase, for food and beverage product and service executions and for fun.

What is JAOTG? Why you have to come?

Jazz Artists on the Greens™ is the signal event that begins a jazz season in the Caribbean preceding St. Lucia and Tobago by days and weeks, and allowing us to hear the possibilities of jazz transformed from the American response to the blues with improvisation into a renewed inversion of Caribbean rhythms on improvised melodies. It is a large festival-styled jazz concert event that was initiated in June 2003. Leaning towards the Caribbean Jazz idiom for inspiration, the objective was to expose as many new patrons and young musicians as possible to Jazz, in an informal setting that could help remove much of the mystique that seemed to surround the genre. "Come for the lime…Discover the music."
