Three bands, one love for jazz.
Caribbean Jazz Collective
The CJC performs Caribbean music, mixing the flavour and rhythms into a sound that is modern but always being influenced by classic jazz, with an Island twist. Audiences are delighted by this approach and, whether the audience has a Caribbean background or are simply jazz fans, CJC loves to share their music and their passion.
