The Ethnic Jazz Club
The Ethnic Jazz Club (EJC) is a musical arts company based in Trinidad and Tobago. The mission of the EJC is to provide Caribbean Jazz Musicians with development, performance and recording opportunities, enable the perpetuation of Caribbean musical forms in Caribbean Jazz Practice, and make Caribbean Jazz accessible and visible through performances, demonstrations, recordings, synchronisation and licensing.
At the core of the EJC’s presentations, recordings and workshops is Trinidad and Tobago’s music, KAISO, and the National Instrument of Trinidad and Tobago, the Steelpan.
The EJC is based at the EJC’s Studio, 51 Cornelio Street, Woodbrook, Port-of-Spain, Trinidad. Presentations and workshops are staged, presented and recorded there.
