Iconic T&T jazz musician Etienne Charles has a message to his fans.
“I’m looking forward to this run of shows going to the Caribbean, Middle East and all over the US. We have so many special performances lined up. It will be a fun-filled spring and summer, and I hope you’ll join me somewhere,” he said.
Charles is excited to be performing for the first time at International Jazz Day’s All-Star Global Concert, which will be streamed live tomorrow on jazzday.com from the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi.
The stellar international lineup includes Herbie Hancock, Marcus Miller, Dianne Reeves, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Terri-Lyne Carrington, Arturo Sandoval, Danilo Perez, Kenny Baron, Rhani Krija, Linda Oh and many more.
Last Thursday, Charles performed at Sundance Square, Fort Worth, Texas, and the following day he was featured at the DaCamera of Houston Gala.
