The Anguilla Tourist Board
Presents…
The Tranquility

JAZZ FESTIVAL
NOVEMBER 10 - 14, 2004

As part of its initiatives to enhance the marketing thrust of the island, the Anguilla Tourist Board will be hosting the first ever Tranquility Jazz Festival from November 10 - 14, 2004.

This auspicious musical event is recognized as a destination marketing tool capable of building recognition for the island in its major markets, and providing benefits that will accrue to all sectors of the local economy. It will provide visitors to the island with the opportunity to experience not only its world-class beaches, the warmth and friendliness of its people, the eclectic cuisine, the varied art forms, and the variety of activities available in, on and away from the water, but also the opportunity to experience jazz at its best in an unparalleled ambience of serene sophistication.

The three day event will take place at Sandy Ground, and will feature two exciting nightly performances as well as a relaxing Sunset Jazz on the Beach session on the last day of the event.

In addition to great music and great atmosphere, jazz lovers will also have the opportunity to experience the island’s eclectic cuisine, as a number of fine restaurants will be featuring award-winning selections for their on-site dining pleasure. In the weeks preceding the event, a number of jazz evenings will be held around the island, featuring performances from various jazz artistes, and setting the mood for Tranquility Jazz.
