For Trinidadian trumpeter and percussionist Etienne Charles, rhythm doesn’t just organize a tune. It reveals historical origins and tracks sojourns both forced and voluntary.Returning to the Tenderloin jazz spot Black Cat with his pan-Caribbean band Creole Soul for a three-night run May 18-20 (followed by a May 21 afternoon concert at Bach Dancing & Dynamite Society in Half Moon Bay), Charles continues to explore music arising from four centuries of African displacements and subsequent migrations.The concerts mark the 10th anniversary of his landmark album “Creole Soul,” which introduced a body of music with a radically encompassing Caribbean rhythmic palette.
