Musician

Freedom Art Quartet

A melodic expression in improvised music fronted by founding members, Percussionist/Composer Lloyd Haber and Multi Wind Player Omar Kabir, who founded the group in 1991. The group's diverse ethnic and compositional structure is a breath of fresh air needed to represent today’s music scene. “Our purpose is to explore and create in depth, the limitless dimensions of the art form.”

The release of the Freedom Art Quartet’s “Spirits Awake” brought the group critical acclaim; Jeff Stockton of All About Jazz said, “Spirits Awake captures the listener’s interest, holds that interest with creativity and intensity, then rewards it with excitement generated by musical variety and masterly expressiveness."
