Windrush ‘was positive for everyone’ Gary Crosby OBE reflects on the musical impact of Windrush on the British jazz scene by DredieMann
BANDLEADER: Gary Crosby is looking forward to the All Stars event
The bassist and bandleader will perform this month at a special Jazz Jamaica All Stars & Brinsley Forde: Catch A Fire, Windrush Day Celebration of Bob Marley & The Wailers at the Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall. He added: “For Jamaican musicians that were based here before that time, those that had been here from the 1920s, they said when the Windrush landed, it was almost like you were receiving an energy blast from your history, like you plugged back into the Caribbean and Africa and they said that they became more confident, the way they approached the music they felt was more indicative of its roots.
“If you look at some of the interests of the British-born white Jazz musicians after the Windrush, it’s slightly different. After extensive international touring, and the recording of four great albums, Crosby was ready to move Jazz Jamaica forward to the next stage and, in March 1999, he expanded the core lineup to big band status by adding a raft of guest soloists.
They will also be joined by the stunning 246-strong community choir Jazz Jamaica All Stars Choir , led by Mark de Lisser, which will be bringing their collective voice to the celebration.Crosby said: “We’re honoured to lead the Southbank Centre’s Windrush Day 75th anniversary celebrations with the mighty Jazz Jamaica All Stars, a huge milestone we can’t wait to mark.“We love bringing our vibes to the concert hall, it creates a very special, joyous moment for audiences.
