Lionel Richie was the high light of the Jamaica Jazz and Blues festival.

As expected Lionel who performed on the second night of the three day event belted out hits after hits as the audience sang along in high spirits. The man was just fabulous.

Other excellent performances came from Ashford and Simpson, randy Crawford and the Ojays, Robin Thicke and Maxi Priest.

Chicago also did well, but by the time they hit the stage some people were walking out.

Meanwhile, okay performances came from Estelle, Jewish reggae singer Matisyahu, Lou Gramm and Atlantic Star.

Overall, the Jamaica Jazz and Blues Festival was fairly supported in comparison to previous years.

Nevertheless, Jamaica Jazz and Blues 2k9 was a success.
