HBO presents Jamaica Jazz and Blues Festival

[Matej]

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of Jamaica's independence, HBO and Flow are broadcasting a television Special titled Where the Music is Always Alive: Jamaica Jazz and Blues 2012. The program takes a look at big events of the region, including last January's Jamaica Jazz and Blues Festival, which featured Celine as the headliner. "We are thrilled to be sharing in this celebratory moment, together with Flow, here in Kingston," said Javier Figueras, Corporate Vice President of Affiliate Sales for HBO Latin America Group. "By investing in local productions, we continue to bring Jamaica's cultural wealth and natural beauty to a forefront throughout both the Caribbean and Latin American regions." The documentary will first air in the Caribbean on August 4 and then in South America in September. The half-hour program will have a repeat showing on Monday, August 6 (Jamaica's Independence Day), additional showings will air in the Caribbean throughout August and September. The show will also be available to HBO On Demand subscribers.

Is the show already available on YouTube in HQ or am I imagining things?

Sounds like this is only a half hour program and will probably not feature much of Celine...not the whole concert...

It would be great if they broadcast the full performance of ''Mr. Paganini'' and it would make sense since it's a jazz song. Edited August 2, 2012 at 05:56 PM by Calypso

Awesome thank you

[Angel2006]

Thanks for the info! I can't wait to see it on tv!

[Celine Fan 77]

I won't get my hopes up this time, they said it's going to be a 30-minute-special, so for sure we won't get Celine's concert...

I don't think they will show Celine in this, besides there were so many Jazz artists and they will surely focus on them first.

Maybe just maybe you will see a glimpse of Celine doing a snippet of a song. I don't expect them to do it though.

I bet they will show "Treat Her Like A Lady" since it's a reggae style song and because Diana King was a special guest. Celine added this song in specifically for the Jamaica show.

Found this:

. I think it's just a commercial. Celine is at 0:27

Thanks for recording it!

 

She says she wishes that she could have sung Three Little Birds (don't worry about a thing) all night. Yet she didn't even sing it once. Come on Celine, if you had really wanted to you could have.

They focused a lot on Beauty and The Beast in that clip. Oh well.

if she wished that so much then why just perform the same setlist as in Vegas? For this festival she could have made the difference by really performing some jazz tracks, as this was the theme of the festival.. But oh well, the people loved it , that is important too
