The stunning debut album, 'The River Doesn't Like Strangers' by saxophonist Chelsea Carmichael. Chelsea Carmichael is an understated innovator and educator, quietly adding her own contribution to the iteration of jazz that has evolved on these islands. She's a warm and hypnotic player, who brings subtle and considered improvisation to everything she does. The album title comes from something her dad said when they visited Jamaica for the first time, when she was younger. The Rio Grande goes through the centre of his home village of Grants Level, in the parish of Portland.
