A journey through the relationship between jazz and the island of offbeat rhythm: Jamaican traditional pieces performed by the giants of jazz (Parker, Rollins, and others), jazz and bebop compositions by Jamaican composers, and classics of ska-jazz, rocksteady, and reggae. A path between sunlit daytime dances and “damned” nocturnal ballads that nod to Tom Waits.
