Jazz on the Beach & Street
t
he Eleuthera All That Jazz Festival 2018 was a vibrant and musically colorful celebration, with multiple performance venues across the island. Two new venues this year at both ends of Eleuthera, including ‘The Other Side’ in North
Eleuthera, and Jack’s Bay Club in South Eleuthera, added to the breadth of the unique music festival experience. The four day event, founded and chaired by Patricia Oakes Leigh-Wood, supports the Haynes Library in Governor’s Harbour, with direct proceeds going towards annual projects and operations at the historic community organization, while the wider impact supports others throughout the island. An incredibly talented group of jazz musicians, both local and international, came together for the Festival and wowed audiences, with headliner, Myra Maud, returning, along with international artists, Tommaso Starace, Massimo Colombo, the Steve Koven trio, and Solomon Hicks.
