Leaning towards the Caribbean Jazz idiom for inspiration, Jazz Artists on the Greens™ has grown into the largest Caribbean jazz event in Trinidad and Tobago with the potential to expand further.

As with previous editions, the 2015 event promises a powerful mix of contemporary Caribbean jazz styles, delivered by some of the most talented performers to grace our stages.
This year’s line-up includes one of the Caribbean's finest musicians, Bajan saxophone superstar Arturo Tappin, American steelpan jazz fusion artist, Jonathan Scales Fourchestra, Trinidadian smooth jazz guitarist Clifford Charles, and powerhouse songstress Kay Alleyne along with other surprise performers. The audience is in for a delightful treat.

Founded in 2003, Jazz Artists on the Greens™ has grown from strength to strength, ever widening its base of regional performers and its audience. As it evolves in the new decade of the 21st century, its initial purpose of exposing as many new patrons and young musicians as possible to jazz has been expanded to include becoming a major platform for the expression of Caribbean jazz artistes, based locally, regionally and internationally. The high demand by artistes for spots on the show will allow for the inclusion of surprise guests to be confirmed closer to the date.
The event is again being hosted at the spacious accommodation at the bucolic Greens at Farm Road in St Joseph. This well-lit, secure facility also offers adequate off-the-road parking for patrons’ vehicles. Click here to Read JAOTG Policies and Important Information. Suffice it to say, with the increased options in the marketplace for live music lovers, Production One Ltd has focused on the improvement of the concert experienced for the patron and artiste from production value to marketing opportunities. Apart from the idea that jazz can be listened to on mats, blankets and lounge chairs while sipping wine and consuming tender victuals, the “atmosphere of lavish escapism” attendant on the various jazz festivals in the Caribbean including Tobago, has not taken hold on the Greens. This informal setting has helped remove much of the mystique that seemed to surround the genre.
The slow-growth organic model of a Jazz Artists on the Greens™ is a winning template as opposed to the hit-and-run approach of Plymouth. Jazz Artists on the Greens™ is the signal event that begins a jazz season in the Caribbean preceding Tobago and St Lucia by days and weeks, respectively, and it allows us to hear the possibilities of jazz transformed from the American response to the blues, with improvisation into a renewed inversion of Caribbean rhythms on improvised melodies.
Over the years the producers of this signal event successfully created a true festival atmosphere—a true Caribbean jazz marketplace—by offering space to concessionaires who offer food, drinks, musical instruments, festival memorabilia and give-aways. For 2015, the range of festival-related concessions and paraphernalia includes local jewelry, painters/artists, other food caterers, leather craft and musical instruments. The hosts, Production One Ltd will have it merchandise tent featuring music CDs and branded apparel. Over the past twelve years, the event has received glowing reviews in the press and encouraging responses from its many patrons who have been attending in increasing numbers and anticipation is rife that 2015’s production will continue in this vein of success.
