Jamaica Jazz and Blues Festival Thousands Turn Out to Enjoy the Music
Brittany Somerset
When reggae band Third World exited the Jamaica Jazz and Blues Festival stage on Saturday January 30, they brought the curtains down on the biggest staging of the event since its inception.  2010 saw the 14th renewal of the JAMAICA Jazz and Blues Festival, and the event moving from a three day event, to an all-out, week-long musical experience, that drew thousands of people to witness it. With prelude shows in Kingston and along the northern coast of the island, the Festival headed to its new home, The 'Greenfield' Stadium, for an awesome three nights of live music from performers like Babyface, Gladys Knight, Marion Hall, Erykah Badu, Hall and Oates, Machel Montano, Jon Secada, Joss Stone, and more.  more >>

Tony Bennett Live at Mohegan Sun
February 14, 2010
Matthew Robinson
Wow! Tony Bennett at the surprisingly acoustically-supportive Mohegan Sun Arena! It's like Valentine's Day, the Chinese New Year and Presidents' Day rolled into one! Oh - it WAS all that! Supported by music director Lee Musiker, long-time guitarist Gray Sergent, Basie band beatmaster Harold Jones and  totally into it bassist Marshall Wood (who mouthed along with his strings when not smiling like a kid on another holiday), Mr. Bennett also enrolled the burgeoning talents of his daughter Antonia, who warmed up the packed crowd with her cupied smile and voice. When the elder Bennett bounded on stage, he was greeted with a roar that was only duplicated by those heard after pretty much every song.  more >>

Patti Labelle Performs Two Sold Out Valentine's Day Concerts
Brittany Somerset and Gerry Hopkins
In response to what has been characterized as "Patti-fever," the cultural connoisseurs of Jammins Entertainment, assisted by Gmax Enterprises, scheduled a second appearance of the iconic soul star, Patti LaBelle. Both shows - the initial one at 7p.m., and the added appearance at 10p.m. - took place at the prestigious Brooklyn Academy of Music, on Valentine's Day. The versatile two-time Grammy winning singer has over 40 years in the music business and is a cultural icon to multiple generations of fans. She performed her classic, genre-crossing hits like "On My Own," "Lady Marmalade," "If Only You Knew,"  "Live! One Night Only," and "Burnin' " with her distinctive four octave voice, all while looking fabulous in a stunning bright red dress and high heels.  more >>
