This year the show was moved to Jazz at Lincoln Center's Allen Room. In past years the show was held at the institution's Rose Theater and Alice Tully Hall. Though smaller than the previous performing halls, the Allen Room provided show attendees with a much more intimate setting, and a breathtaking late evening into night view of New York's Columbus Circle and entrance to Central Park.
PR9.NET June 22, 2007 - New York - The 2007 version of the annual Steelpan Jazz Concert at the House of Jazz at Lincoln Center is in the history books. The crowd was ready, the showground was ready and the artists delivered. Robert Greenidge, Ralph MacDonald and David Rudder - the show's headliners - left the crowd calling for more. Indeed, another successful show for the event producers Abstract Entertainment Inc. (AEI), whose name has become synonymous with high level successful music events.
Robert Greenidge, Ralph MacDonald and David Rudder all are great internationally known artists whose careers have been unapologetically intimately intertwined with the steelpan instrument, music and art form. These three - each respected musical giants in their own right, brought a historical context and moment to Lincoln Center's House of Jazz, as they celebrated the genius of the steelpan instrument from its humble beginnings to the present; they performed selected pieces for the audience out of their vast catalog of known hits, each showcasing the steelpan under the artistry of Robert Greenidge's masterful touch. MacDonald's "Just the Two of Us", Greenidge's "From the Heart" and of course Rudder's "The Hammer" all touched a special cord with audience. Each received tremendous applause for the night's rendition of their famous compositions.
