CONGRATULATIONS are in order to our son of the soil, Saint Lucian born Jermaine St. Omer affectionately known as “RAJOW”.
Together with his group SAINT “O”, the band has just released a 10 song “AFRO CARIBBEAN JAZZ” album that is taking the entertainment industry by storm especially in Asia, Europe and the Middle East where the group has an extensive fan base.
“RAJOW” describes the final product as a labour of love which originated in Hong Kong while he was the Musical Director for the jazz programme at the famous JJ Mahoney’s located at the Grand Hyatt.
It’s evident judging by the tracks that the musicianship is of high quality and Rajow’s superb drumming and percussion skills adds to the flair of the selections.
His Original composition “ONE LIFE TO LIVE” was selected as the title of the album and includes a killer track “Pinnocks Lane” written by Saint Lucian Saxophonist Augustin Duplessis (JAB).
The album is a collection of jazz standards that were being performed live at the Grand Hyatt, Hong Kong which prompted Rajow to take it a step further in the form of releasing an album. This new venture has already began opening opportunities on his musical journey which began many years ago in Saint Lucia as the drummer for the iconic group “THE TRU-TONES”.
An endorsement on the album by another son of the soil saxophonist and music icon Luther Francois, is the impetus that has elevated Jermaine’s status on the global entertainment stage, while making Saint Lucians proud to bless him with ongoing success in his musical endeavors.
