Mervin Toussaint’s debut full length album “Lakay” offers a bold opening statement from the thoughtful and Soulful saxophone player and composer that will take you on a journey of illustrious melodies, rhythms and emotions. “Lakay” meaning “home” in Haitian Kreyol tells a story of Mervin discovering his personal definitions of home through meaningful relationships in his life. Mervin pays homage to the relationships he holds with religion, community, heritage and family members of past, present and future. Mervin honors these relationships with his unique voice that is rooted in his musical upbringing in the Haitian Christian Church as well as his devotion to the aural tradition associated with jazz music.
