Anita Baker, Angie Stone, and wyclef Jean are among the international artistes in the line-up for the 2008 Saint Lucia Jazz Festival to be held from the 2nd to the 11th of May.
Jazz musicians Najee, the Juilliard Quartet, Jacques Schwartz-Bart and Dianne Reeves were announced at the media launch of the event Tuesday evening at Sandals Halcyon.
Senator Allen Chastanet Minister for Tourism said Saint Lucia Jazz is going through a transition in order to raise the quality of the event. He went on to say. "I think we have a really fantastic line-up and one that will receive a lot of appeal across the board. What I would like to say is that come 2010 / 2011, I am going to be asking the Saint Lucia Tourist Board to look at making the event much bigger, to start broadening the marketing spans of the destination. Because 2010 is when we will be getting the largest increment of new rooms on the island.”
