The American Foundation for the University Of The West Indies (AFUWI) in association
with Riddims Marketing will present Caribbean Jazz Matazz Saturday, September 28 at The
Broward Center for the Performing Arts. Proceeds will provide scholarships to deserving students
to attend UWI at their various campuses throughout the Caribbean.
With an impressive lineup of top-notch performers, Caribbean Jazz Matazz promises a mesmerizing
fusion of jazz, reggae and calypso music for an unforgettable evening of island sound.
Featuring famed saxophonist Arturo Tappin from Barbados, renowned steel panist Leon
Foster Thomas from Trinidad & Tobago, jazz guitarist Eugene Grey and vocalist Gem Myers
from Jamaica, Caribbean Jazz Matazz will delight audiences with its dynamic blend of smooth
jazz, rhythmic calypso and off-beat reggae influences. The Dillard Center for the Arts
Jazz Ensemble, which continues to shine as the premiere high school jazz band that has
won numerous awards, makes a special appearance that you will not want to miss.
The intimate Amaturo Theatre at the Broward Center seats only 590 guests and patrons are
urged to purchase tickets early, as early indications are that this will be a sold-out
event with strong support coming from the UWI Alumni South Florida Chapter as well as
fans of the performers.
Buy tickets now online at www.browardcenter.org, by phone 954-462-0222 or at the Broward Center
Box Office. Caribbean Jazz Matazz is sponsored by Grace Foods, Golden Krust Caribbean Grill,
Dennis Shipping and the UWI Alumni Association.
