More jam sessions... The Celebrity Theatre is an amazing venue for line of sight and cutting edge sound.

This is a review more so of Entertainment Cruise Productions who chartered Celebrity Summit for a jazz cruise out of Ft Lauderdale.

It was the inaugural sailing of Blue Note At Sea - a famed jazz recording label responsible for launching jazz legends such as Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Van Morrison, Nora Jones and so many more. The line up on the cruise was the elite of contemporary jazz artists including no less than 10 Grammy Award winners and a boatload of the genre's finest. IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT. WOW!!

...Not quite household names, but music that moves the soul and many of the artists you'll find in the credits of Oscar winning movies, Broadway shows and A-List collaborators. Not your standard on board entertainment - which is the major drawcard for those who don't generally subscribe to cruising. This was Jazz Concentrate... a festival of soul, funk, jazz and beyond. All-you-can-take music of the highest order. Entertainment Cruise Productions headed up by jazz enthusiast Michael Lazaroff are the indisputable specialists in packaging jazz at sea, and this sailing was nothing short of exceptional. Ports of call were ok - Nassau, San Juan, Samana, Labadee... however I am guilty of staying on the ship to catch more music well into the small hours of the night.
