When we say Caribbean Club Concert-Hall, we mean jazz evenings that take place here regularly. Jazz feels so good here, so comfortable. Young jazzmen, who are taking only their first steps in music, feel good here; as well as well-known jazz stars that used to shine on the stage of world festivals, feel good here.

As part of Black Art Jazz Collective, the capital will be raised to the ears of five virtuosos from music. Each of them had already become famous in the world of jazz by that time.

Among the album’s tracks, 2 tracks are dedicated to none other but the first black President of America Barack Obama. The record was made with a live audience in a jazz club in Connecticut Old Lyme, and one of the songs even captures acoustic of the backstage.

It turns out that the owners of the club, fans of the band for a long time, they willingly responded to the brave proposal of musicians. And we witnessed the creation of a truly revolutionary album.
