Narell will be joined this year by artists including Elan Parle, Soft and Cameron Pierre.

Narell will be performing May 15 with his eponymous quartet at the Cabrits National Park.

Jazz ’n Creole is one of two major musical events on Dominica’s annual agenda, along with the World Creole Music Festival.

The latter is scheduled for Oct. 28-30.
