This group- of 3 generations of Jamaican Tenors, came together in 2003, to celebrate our love of music and Caribbean Romanticism.

David Reid (O.D.), Cecil Cooper (C.D.) & Steve Higgins toured and performed in The United Kingdom, the USA and Jamaica, presenting Ballads, Jazz, Songs from the Shows, Jamaican Folk Songs, Classical music and much more to their adoring audiences.

Dem 3 Jamaican Tenors became a fixture in South Florida, where Higgins – Producer and manager of the shows- resides. They were to be seen in performances in many cities of the USA, such as New York, Atlanta, Orlando, Ft, Lauderdale and Miami, where they held annual shows.

Ironically, the last show presented by Dem 3 Jamaican Tenors was mounted in St. Elizabeth & Kingston, Jamaica, in 2017, three months before Cecil Cooper passed away.

David Reid SAYS he has retired at age 92, but still sings with Steve Higgins Productions in the USA; He actually performed in Florida in March of 2019, and for the last concert in New York September 2019. Dem 3 Jamaican Tenors routinely supported many charities over the years, including the Wortley Home for Girls in Kingston.

The group has one album (CD) to their credit.
