band / ensemble / orchestraAbout
Mozayik’s musical concept draws upon a rich legacy of traditional Afro-Haitian rhythms and melodies, 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 rave reviews and earned the group a feature on National Public Radio’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 New York City at the landmark Sounds of Brazil (SOB’S) and Irving Plaza, in Miami at the Carnival Center for the Performing Arts,as well as in Port-au-Prince,Haiti. In May 2005,Mozayik released “Haitian Creole Jazz”on the grammy-winning Zoho music label, the recording received extensive national airplay and was a critic’s pick for 2005 in Jazziz Magazine. The band is currently at work on their third recording. ...
