Profile

steelinjazz.com



Lightning, the world's finest double tenor pannist (steeldrum player) from Trinidad, is the band leader. Rob Block, a phenomenal American jazz artist performs on both the keyboard and the guitar, Bel Small, the band’s Bajan (from Barbados) Bounce is on the bass, and all is set to the sweet rhythms of American Aras Biskis on drums. The musical magic of these artists is amazing. Your feet will be dancing to their delightful Caribbean Jazz rhythms. Their vast repertoire and superb musical understanding demonstrate how deep their passion for their art lies. To see them perform is to sample the oneness of music. The music takes over the body, mind and soul of these extraordinarily talented musicians. Steelin' Jazz is the perfect blend of island heat and cool jazz. The musicians have lived the music of the Caribbean in Trinidad and Barbados and the music of North America in the jazz clubs of Chicago, New Orleans and St. Louis. The sharing of their musical journey with each other and with their audience is an experience you don't want to miss.

Steelin’ Jazz has been performing since 1994. They have been featured at the Taste of Chicago, numerous yacht clubs, Caribbean festivals in Chicago, St. Louis and Trinidad, the International Festival of Life, The Trinidad Hilton, Queen’s Hall in Trinidad and many clubs and private events both in Trinidad and the Midwest. They have received rave reviews in both countries calling them brilliant, magical and extraordinaire. They have performed with calypso greats such as the Calypso King of the World, the Mighty Sparrow, Calypso Rose, the Original Defosto Himself and more. They have recorded 4 CDs. The latest CD “A Tribute to the Masters” is dedicated to the late, great Grandmaster of Calypso, Lord Kitchener and is recorded with calypsonian, Trinidad Crazy.
