Stand-out jazz

There were many stand-out moments at Christmas Jazz on Sunday night at the Plantation Garden Theatre.

The sold-out event saw two Grammy Award-winning performances from trumpeter Maurice Brown and singer Lalah Hathaway. Patrons also saw for the first time an all-Barbadian band providing some memorable pieces, led by the sax maestro Arturo Tappin. They also saw three costume changes and an entertaining performance from American X Factor contestant Lillie McCloud.

At the end of the night, there wasn’t anyone seated for the finale. The show, which was so much in demand, was also held over last night.
