Mozayik July 2, 2011

Mozayik's musical concept draws upon a rich legacy of traditional Afro-Haitian rhythms and blends them with the instrumentation, melodic/harmonic sensibilities and improvisation of modern jazz. New York City's premier Haitian Jazz ensemble released their debut recording in 2000. The self-titled "Mozayik" garnered great reviews and earned the group a feature on NPR's "The World" program. In 2002 Mozayik had the honor of representing Haiti in the Havana Jazz Festival, at the invitation of world-renowned Cuban pianist Chucho Valdes. Mozayik has headlined Haitian jazz festivals in NYC at the landmark Sounds Of Brazil and Irving Plaza, in Miami at the Carnival Center for the Performing Arts, as well as Port -au - Prince Haiti.
