New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Susan Andrea Warmington official website) Jamaica is famous for its indigenous Reggae and Dance Hall Music. However, not many are aware of the great Jazz Musicians and active Jazz scene on the island. Jamaican Jazz and U.S. based Vocalist Susan Andrea Warmington wants the world to know that Jamaican Musicians are a versatile bunch and educated in many musical styles. Susan says. "Ernest Ranglin and Monty Alexander are world famous Jazz Musicians from Jamaica, and I want people to realize that there are many world class Jazz Musicians im Jamaica that are very dedicated to the craft of Jazz and love to express their well educated Jazz chops."
Susan's debut EP, "JAZZMAICAN" displays some of the sharp skills of these Musicians like nimble fingered Jazz Guitarist Maurice Gordon who duets with Susan's resonant vocals on Gordon Jenkins "Blue Prelude" Susan also sings American Jazz icon Peggy Lee's " I Dont Know Enough About You" with Jamaican Jazz legend Ernest Ranglin on Guitar
The EP was recorded at Tuff Gong and B-Rich Studios in Kingston, Jamaica, and Produced by Susan Andrea Warmington and Richard "Shams" Browne
