J’ourvet means Street Party at Carnival and is at the heart of
this recording. From the samba drum intro to the last reggae
tune, you will be transported to your own Caribbean island
with a street party happening just beyond the palms.
J’ourvet is the collaborative effort of steel pan artist Tom
Berich and vibraphonist Thomas Mackay. These musicians pay
homage to their love of Caribbean music, influenced by
musicians like Andy Narell, Dave Samuels, and Mike Mainieri.
This recording breathes new life into Narell’s “Izo’s Mood”
