vast repertoire, the three
featured steel orchestras will

calypso.

venue on the day of the show.
Pazzaz is the
fourth in the series of Pan
Trinbago’s jazz oriented events
having started two years ago under
the banner “Pan Jazz in De Yard.”
The latter was a result of a need to
showcase the national instrument in
a jazz concert setting. Against the
backdrop of the Caribbean Sea, pan
jazz in the park is indeed a much
needed stop in the journey to jazz.
