Description

A fourth-generation musician who picked up the trumpet at the age of 10, Etienne Charles is a rising star in the jazz world, a celebrated improviser, bandleader and straightahead jazz artist. But the thing that sets Charles apart from the pack is his incorporation of Afro-Caribbean melodies, rhythms, chants and myths into his music. Born on the island of Trinidad, Charles' compositions are rich with stories, motifs and characters that have been passed down through generations of the island's musicians, storytellers and artists.
