Barbados Jazz Festival
Imagine lazing on sandy beaches with the music of the world's most talented jazz musicians filling the tropical air. Sound like paradise? It is – and it happens every year at the Barbados Jazz Festival (January 14–20, 2008). This year's scene brings legends like Erykah Badu and Bob James to the shores of this former British island, where they'll perform in the festival's diverse venues – which range from the historic Sunbury Plantation House to the open-air playgrounds of the impressive Farley Hill National Park. The event makes for a unique symphony of natural beauty and musical genius.
