KINGSTON, Jamaica — After two decades of absence from the stage, Seretse, of the island’s leading guitarists will make a highly anticipated appearance on Thursday, February 26 at the ‘Herbie Miller Presents Jazz Night’ at the Jamaica Pegasus hotel.

The performance is set to  begin at 7:30 pm.

He will reveal his little known talent as a rock  guitarist which should be a surprise to those who have followed his career over the decades.

“My repertoire will include interpretations of Jamaican music; great jazz and R&B standards, music of the African Diaspora, original compositions including Afro funk, calypso jazz, and Reggae jazz”, Seretse said.

As an established Jamaican musician, educator and cultural thinker he is returning to the stage – fully formed, uncompromising and ready to speak through music.

During Seretse’s absence from the stage he concentrated on building the Avant Academy of Music and other educational and institutional projects and is formally returning to performing as a central creative pursuit.

Seretse, who has been a leading figure in Jamaican music education for nearly four decades and was inducted into the Caribbean Hall of Fame in 2012, is widely respected for bridging Caribbean music and North American jazz traditions.

“This performance is not a routine appearance.  It is a strategic re-entry into public performance and a statement of artistic intent for the next phase in my career,” he said.
