No Jazz on the Greens for 2026

PRODUCTION ONE LTD (POL) has announced that there will be no Jazz Artists on the Greens-2026.

In a statement on November 15, the company said the uncertain state of the post-pandemic economy, along with state policies aligned to the entertainment sector and its impact on private sector sponsorship, even beyond the annual Carnival season, influenced its decision.

The company said it has also noted the minimal uptake of tax incentives for sponsorship by the private sector.

“The recent national budget statement identified actions to 'allow greater control over NLCB sponsorships and allow better financial management of the Sport and Culture Fund,' revealing public sector funding shortfalls and correcting deficits.”

In moving forward, the company said it is realigning its services and products to this new reality.

“After 22 editions of our flagship event, Jazz Artists on the Greens – 20 editions in Trinidad and two in Tobago – the company is rebranding and reassessing its business model. As a result, there will be no Jazz Artists On The Greens-2026.”

Instead, the company said the recorded content of previous productions will be collated towards additional commercialisation, pending negotiations with rights holders. Read more
