Trinidadian jazz guitarist Clifford Charles is about to take on the world with his home grown brand of silky smooth jazz music. And, his fans are convinced of his intent.
He performed at some of the flagship music festivals such as Jazz Artist On The Greens, We Beat Jazz, Jazz Point, and Tobago Jazz Festival. He has shared the stage with Randy Crawford, Joe Sample, and the Drifters. Clifford is by no means resting on his laurels not by a long shot.
He has a new CD entitled "Songs From Deep Within" which was recorded and produced by the artiste himself. Clifford says that the creative process for this CD came from a good feeling that he had from within himself based on all the positives that surrounded him.
Caribbean and international music audiences can expect from Clifford Charles nothing less than a tapestry of smooth jazz expression, created from the very soul of the artiste!
The goal of this new project, he said, is that it brings wider acceptance among the international jazz community which includes jazz radio, jazz festivals in the USA and Europe, jazz fans, jazz promoters, distribution and a possible record deal
