THE LONGTIME STEELBAND
Khalick J. Hewitt

Khalick J. Hewitt hails from East Dry River or the area known as "behind the Bridge", in Trinidad.  Growing up next to and practically in the City Syncopators panyard, Hewitt runs through his first-hand factual account of the history and evolution of the steelband movement in Trinidad, during his enlightening chat with When Steel Talks.

As founder and President of the Brooklyn-based International Steelband and Calypso Society (ISCS), Hewitt puts his very soul into the research, promotion and preservation of both the steelband and calypso art forms.  In the context of the twelve-year old organization, Hewitt refers to himself as a Panologist and Calypsologist, and it is the Panologist who was very candid during his interview.

Satalla's muted in-house lighting set an apt backdrop for the musical pan jazz mix served up to an audience not shy to voice their appreciation for impressive riffs.  Flavorful French Caribbean musical fare complimented by Trinidad rhythms and encapsulated with jazz infusions characterized the selections delivered by the quartet comprising Martinique's Mario Canonge on piano, Michel Albio on bass, their Chicago-based drummer, and noted Andy Narell on double seconds.  Full Story
