About the members of the Caribbean Jazz Collective Bassist Andrew Stewart whose background is Jamaican, saxophonist Neil Brathwaite who hails from Montreal via Barbados, steel drum player Gareth Burgess born in Canada with strong Trinidadian roots, Eddie Bullen from the spice Island Grenada, and Joaquin Nunez Hidalgo from Cuba to add that hot Latin flavour. About Dueling Pianos Dueling pianos is a celebration of a parent’s dream to have their offspring follow in their footsteps. My son Quincy and I performed for audiences in the United States, Canada and the Caribbean. This concept is: dialogue between Quincy and myself, speaking about his life growing up in the home where music is part of life, and I talk about the challenges and triumphs of attempting to ensure that he is a contributing member of society. About his album, Spice Island My Dueling Pianos Eddie & Quincy Bullen album, Spice Island, chronicles the life of a young budding musician on a tiny island, my memories of places and things that have been the backdrop of my life that brings back fond memories. I thought it was time to look back and chronicle the journey to North America. About where his music can be purchased iTunes, Amazon, CD baby About his concert venues My website and social media platforms are pretty much the gatekeepers on where my next performance will be.
