JazzBeat on tonight

WeBeat, the cultural experience hosted by the St James Community Improvement Committee (CIC) will feature some of the TT ’s top musicians, including Elan Parle, Pelham Goddard & Roots, the Trinidad & Tobago Police Services Band and Jason “Fridge” Seecharan.

The artistes will perform everything from smooth jazz to classic jazz to calypso and groovy jazz.

Patrons can bring their drinks but only chasers, non-alcohol drinks and ice will be on sale. Resident steelband St James Tripolians will provide a musical welcome as patrons enter the venue.

WeBeat St James Live is designed to promote the community of St James and plays a role in promoting an opportunity for artistes to showcase their talent, while seeking to build a sustainable tourism product with domestic allure.

WeBeat St James Live is in tribute to Earl Crosby, foundation member and first CIC president who passed away last year. Also sharing the spotlight is this year’s honoree, Woo Ling’s Supermarket, a family- oriented business handed down three generation spanning over 80 years. They will be awarded at the start of tonight’s programme.
