The Caribbean Connection

Programme 2

Thursday 19 July 2007 22:00-22:30 (Radio 3)

Soweto Kinch explores the relationship between jazz in the West Indies and today's generation of Anglo-Caribbean players.

Soweto traces the story of the musical heirs of Joe Harriott and Harold McNair, in particular the Jazz Warriors. He hears from Courtney Pine, Bammi Rose, Gary Crosby and Jason Yarde about the renaissance in Anglo-Caribbean jazz, and looks at how Tomorrow's Warriors and Jazz Jamaica grew out of the active London jazz scene of the 1980s.
