PLACE TO BE
Hot Nights,
Cool Sounds
in Cayman
She caught the world’s attention in
2001 and we’ve been transfixed ever
since. In just a few short years, Alicia
Keys has skyrocketed to fame, winning
nine Grammy Awards and breaking
countless records with her signature
style and soulful tracks. Now fans of
this incomparable singer can enjoy an
intimate performance, as she completes
yet another year at the top of the charts
and as the headline act of the sixth
annual Cayman Jazz Fest. Taking place
on Grand Cayman, the festival runs
December 3–5, 2009 and promises to be
a phenomenal weekend for music lovers.
R&B legend Keith Sweat, eight-time
Grammy nominee jazz saxophonist Kirk
Whalum, soul vocalist Oleta Adams,
multi-year Cayman Jazz Fest performer
Mike Phillips and Peabo Bryson and
Everette Harp round out the multitalented
line-up set to rock the stage
along with the one and only Alicia Keys.
The festival will take place in the
town centre of Camana Bay, a brand
new 500-acre community at the heart
of Grand Cayman. Fast becoming the
gathering spot and a cultural hub for
visitors and locals alike, Camana Bay
features outdoor promenade shopping,
restaurants and entertainment facilities
including a six-screen cinema.
Keys takes to the waterfront Camana
Bay stage on the final night of the festival,
playing her latest hits along with many
of her popular favourites in an intimate
venue that allows fans an up close and
personal glimpse of the real artist. nV
