Fresh from a week-long residency at Jazz at Lincoln Center's Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola, (featured in a “Critic's Pick" write-up in Time Out NY magazine), MOZAYIK is back in Brooklyn for a one-night engagement.
NYC's premier Afro-Haitian jazz quintet MOZAYIK will be performing at the Kombit restaurant in Brooklyn, NY on Saturday, July 9th at 9pm. Come enjoy the unique and uplifting sounds of Mozayik and partake in the delicious Haitian cuisine at Kombit. Special guest musicians for the Kombit show include Sergo Decius (percussion) and Philippe Charles (bass), along with Mozayik members Gashford Guillaume (drums), Welmyr Jean-Pierre (piano) and Eddy Bourjolly (guitar).
Mozayik @ Kombit Restaurant Saturday, July 9, 2005 9pm sharp 279 Flatbush Ave b/ Prospect & St. Mark's Place Brooklyn, NY 10$ plus 2 drink minimum For reservations, call (718) 399 -2000 SUBWAY: 2/3 to Bergen or Q to 7th Ave. www.mozayik.com
Excerpt from Mozayik's “Haitian Creole Jazz" cd review
Jonathan Widran, www.allmusic.com:
“It's always so inspiring when American-based musicians mine the riches of their exotic heritage, and this five-piece New York band offers a stirring invitation to explore the vast rhythmic riches of its Afro-Haitian roots. While listeners are enjoying what on the surface sounds like an appealing mix of classical, jazz, gospel, and funk influences, the 12 multifaceted tracks also aim to teach lessons about various traditional Haitian folkloric drum rhythms.... Those who are fascinated might be prompted to do more research into what makes jazz tick in Haiti. But for those just out for a nice listen, perhaps legendary jazz bassist Jimmy Haslip's take is quite enough: “beautiful music".
