History
The Jazz Festival was first held in 2004 but it was postponed in 2009, as the 2008 show costed $50 million, but ticket sales only yielded $17 million.[6] A new company sponsored the 2010 Jazz festival, which saw a line-up including Carlos Santana, Gloria Estefan, Celine Dion, Tina Turner and Neil Diamond[7]
2017 Jazz festival
Notable performers include Grace Jones, Shabba Ranks, and D’Angelo. Additionally, for the first time, a film component was added to the Festival, in collaboration with the T&T Film Festival.[4]
