On June 19th, this Father's Day, a special treat awaits you. Jazz In Bloom INSPIRE - a premier jazz event annually produced by Bahamian Jazz Vocalist, Anuschka Wright - is the perfect gift for Dads on Father's Day. And with this year's special discounts and NEW student priced tickets, it's that much easier to treat the entire family to a quality live music experience.

Jazz In Bloom Inspire is all about remembering and honoring those individuals, both young and old, that help to spark the light of inspiration. In this year's concert you will get to hear Mr. Ralph Munnings, one of the Bahamas' original Fathers of Jazz, on sax;  Adrian D'Aguilar, bassist and Anuschka's personal Jazz mentor; and the Gelin brothers - Giveton on Trumpet and Giveson on drums. Both of these young gentlemen are also being mentored by Adrian along with young pianist Eric Boxerman (and a few other young musicians and singers) as a part of D'Aguilar's working Jazz group called "The Jazz Cats".

Rounding off the roster of musicians, this year Anuschka celebrates her recent graduation from Concordia University in Montreal by making a Concordia connection. She's invited two talented Concordia linked musicians down to little Nassau to celebrate and share their talents in this year's show. We welcome Concordia Big Band director, Dave Turner on sax and Concordia Jazz Choir Pianist, Chris Tauchner to the Jazz In Bloom stage. So with a mix of the young and not so young, local and international talents Anuschka has prepared a dynamic show for her supporters to once again share her vision of Jazz but also to reveal the growth and knowledge she's attained over her years of study abroad.

So what's your inspiration? This Father's Day, we invite you to come out on Sunday, June 19th, and be Inspired by Anuschka Wright and Jazz In Bloom! It's sure to be an extremely satisfying musical experience the whole family will enjoy. See you there!

Tickets for Jazz In Bloom Inspire can be purchased at Custom Computers Harbour Bay and Cable Beach and also at Fine Threads S.W. Plaza, Carmichael Rd. For your convenience, buy tickets online at www.JazzInBloom.com.

Prepare for another great Jazz experience with Bahamian Jazz Artist, Anuschka Wright. This year, the Jazz In Bloom theme is "INSPIRE" in praise of all those who mentor and inspire others to bring out their best and achieve greatness.

Just before her popular jazz concert at The Hilton Hotel, Nassau which is to be held in the Governor's Ballroom at 7:00 pm on June 19th, Anuschka will be returning to the Bahamas to give you her all after graduating with honors from Concordia University, Montreal, Canada with a degree in Fine Arts with specialty in Jazz. Among other accomplishments at Concordia, Anuschka is the recipient of The Norman Marshall Villeneuve Percussion Award which was established in 2012 in Canada. Each year the Award is given to a deserving 2nd or 3rd year student with excellent academic performance, musicianship, leadership, and a passion for Jazz.

The Jazz In Bloom family is proud of Anuschka and invites you to celebrate with her this Father's Day at the Hilton.

It's expected to be a foot stomping, hand-clapping, raise-your-voice-in-praise kind of experience when The Region Bells, Mother Rachel Mackey, the Dynamic Singers, the BBC Singers, the Flash Lights, the Stubbs Quartet, Haston Brown, Davian Chase, Adrianna Munnings, Rashad Cunningham and Terry Stubbs-Walters perform this weekend. The singers will take to the stage during The Legacy Continues concert event.

Aldo Stubbs, the son of the singer/song-writer and original leader of The Region Bells, the late minister Leon Jehu Stubbs Sr., will stage the concert under the theme "The Legacy Continues" in his effort to keep the legacy of his dad alive.

Along with commemorating his father during the concert, Stubbs is also expected to honor Cardinal Stubbs -- The Region Bells' oldest and longest serving member singing who sang alto/tenor for 55 years. The Region Bells have been singing for 68 years.

"Generations to come will be able to recall with fond memories the legendary Region Bells. What comes to mind instantaneously is the strong rhythmic rhyming and creative storytelling," said Aldo.

"No doubt The Region Bells echo the authentic a capella sound that continues to put The Bahamas on the map through this art form. The history and the Bahamian folklore within the lines of their selections is what set this group of men apart from the rest."

The concert will take place on Sunday, May 29 at the Southland Church of God with a 7:30 p.m. start. Tickets are $10.

"Anyone who has ever attended a concert where these legends [The Region Bells] made a live experience, left with an unforgettable, heart warming experience. In honor of these outstanding men that committed to make these memories worthwhile, [I] decided they should be celebrated and commemorated," he said.
