Air Jamaica Jazz & Blues Festival 2007
After more than 30 years of making music, legendary band Earth, Wind & Fire performs on the island for the first time at the Air Jamaica Jazz & Blues Festival to be staged next weekend in Montego Bay.
"We're very excited about visiting Jamaica... [The audience can] look forward to a great band with a great catalogue of songs coming to rock the house," said percussionist Ralph Johnson yesterday in a phone interview from Los Angeles. Johnson, who joined the band in 1972 after founder Maurice White dissolved the initial line-up, has weathered the climate of a constantly changing industry.
