Jamaica Set to Host Jazz and Blues Festival 2010

The Jamaica Jazz and Blues Festival 2010 will run from Jan. 24 to 30 in Montego Bay. Multiple-award winning singer and actress Jennifer Hudson, "Empress of Soul" Gladys Knight, British vocalist Joss Stone, Hall & Oates, Jamaican reggae singer Marion Hall, veteran reggae band Third World, and melodic jazz icon Monty Alexander are among the acts scheduled to perform. Each year, the Jamaica Jazz and Blues Festival offers its 40,000 patrons a musical experience with sounds and rhythms from jazz, blues, R&B, gospel, world music, Latin and reggae -- a mix which attracts audience from the United States, Canada, Europe and the Caribbean.
The 2010 festival will feature a lineup of events. Small concerts with select artists will warm up the festivities at various hotels on the North Coast including Sunset Jamaica Grande, Iberostar, RIU, Sunset Resort Montego Bay, and the Jamaica Pegasus in Kingston from Jan. 24 to 27. The main event will be hosted in the final three days from Jan. 28 to 30. This musical experience is enhanced by its picturesque location at the "Aqueduct on Rose Hall" along the shores of Montego Bay.
