Caribbean jazz makes a comeback .
This script may be used and modified, but the copyright notice must remain intact. After a languishing in the doldrums for several years, the sounds of jazz music from the Caribbean are being heard once again in the United States. In the forefront of popularity are recordings from the jazz festivals in the Caribbean, which now attract thousands of music lovers each summer. The best known of these is in St. Lucia in the eastern Caribbean and Jamaica in the west, but long after visitors have gone, a vibrant, home-grown jazz scene remains alive and well in the region. In St. Lucia, local bands such as Third Eye and Sugar Cane are found throughout the year at hotspots like Waves, Banana Split and Gros Islet.
