Myrna Hague \u00a0– \u00a0Marcus Garvey Park \u00a0– \u00a0July 29, 2016<\/p>\n

Hague, “Jamaica’s first lady of jazz”, was the focus of this Jazzmobile gig, co-sponsored by the Jamaica Tourism Board.\u00a0 The opener was Trevor “Bridges” Bridgewater (my first steel pan!) playing to prerecorded accompaniment (not my favorite arrangement).\u00a0 He checked all the boxes for clich\u00e9 Jamaican music, including Bob Marley’s “Waiting in Vain”, a song that was actually part of my own performance repertoire for a while.\u00a0 His chops were there, so no major beef.\u00a0 Patience Higgins led the backup combo for Hague, who was in fine form with a bunch of jazz\/pop standards.\u00a0 And guess which Marley song she covered here; there’s a lot of it going around.\u00a0 I guess it’s now a (welcome) part of the canon.<\/p>\n
