ETIENNE CHARLES
www.etiennecharles.com
“..Etienne Charles exhibits both an authentic preservation of the music of his native culture of Trinidad as a composer and bandleader, while broadening our scope of understanding through the collaborative sound of American jazz as it meets new colors, new textures, and new motifs across the world. It will certainly bring more of our public into the jazz audience” - Marcus Roberts
Born on the island of Trinidad, Etienne Charles’ musical lineage runs at least four generations deep. Excelling at school in music, academics and sport, he attended Florida State University and the Master’s degree program at the Juilliard School of Music in New York City, both on full scholarships.
His albums Culture Shock (2006), Folklore (2009) and Kaiso (2012) feature a unique mélange of Jazz improvisation with Afro-Caribbean folk rhythms and chants. Etienne Charles stands at the vanguard of a new generation of musicians who are from the Caribbean but are not totally of it, in terms of a fresh and broad-ranging artistic vision, and in the myriad influences encompassed in their soundscape.
He has performed and recorded with many Jazz greats including Grammy Award winners Roberta Flack, Wynton Marsalis, Johnny Mandel, Ralph MacDonald, Maria Schneider, the Count Basie Orchestra as well as Marcus Roberts, Monty Alexander, Frank Foster, Wycliffe Gordon, Rene Marie, Lord Blakie and David Rudder.

As Mayor and owner of the Villa Vosilla Boutique Resort I am so excited to welcome the Catskill Jazz Factory. Their efforts will help insure the vital genre of Jazz music to future generations."
