Jamaica Holidays - Event

Held at Rose Hall Great House in Montego Bay, the Jamaica Jazz & Blues Festival, presented by Air Jamaica, features performances by a number of international artists.

Headliners in 2009 include Los Van Van, Ashford & Simpson, Randy Crawford & Joe Sample and soul legend Lionel Richie.

The festival aims not just to provide great music in a stunning island setting, but also to develop the skills of young, upcoming musicians through the Art of Music Initiative. Established in 2005, this project comprises a talent night, where chosen bands perform during the festival, and a workshop during which seasoned performers share their experiences.
