Offerings of free breakfasts, welcome drinks including wines and rum punches, pizzas and tours are included in these packages.
For this 10th anniversary of Jazz ‘n Creole, organizers are encouraging both locals and visitors alike to experience the north of Dominica through participation at Jazz ‘n Creole, the fringe events and also the sites and attractions available in this area.
With the addition of Tony Chasseur and Ronald Tulle Quartet featuring Michel Alibo for the 10th edition of Jazz ‘n Creole, patrons will experience a true blend of Jazz with creole sounds. Tony Chasseur turns a new page on his already rich and varied musical itinerary by collaborating with pianist Ronald Tulle. The piano virtuoso exploits the elasticity of the singer’s vocals to propose a magical and enthusiastic repertoire supported by the swirling bass of Michel Alibo. The result is creole jazz based on an in depth exploration of Caribbean rhythms especially zouk, creole melodies and even international to produce constant creativity on stage. Along with Mel, Johann Chuckaree and The Smith Brothers, Jazz ‘n Creole 2019 is shaping up to be one of the most vibrant and entertaining events in Dominica’s calendar for May.
