INTERVIEW WITH SAXOPHONIST JOWEE OMICIL

Multi instrumentalist-composer-educator-producer Jowee Omicil brings a novel and distinctly Afro-Haitian perspective to his music.  He’s part of a growing cadre of Caribbean-descended artists bringing new flavors to the creative music spectrum.  Jowee possesses a distinctive, soulful and spiritual sound on saxophones and flutes that extend to his clarinet and harmonica ventures.

Jowee Omicil is a jazz artist unlike any you've heard before. He brings a novel and distinctly Afro-Haitian perspective to his music. Omicil's melodic storytelling blends flavors from his Creole roots with gospel, soul, hip-hop, and folk, not to mention nods to the masters - from Charlie Parker to Ornette Coleman. Let's BasH!, Omicil's fourth album, is both a cry of war and a declaration of love - but above all, it's a symbol of his mission to expand the popularity of jazz (Source: Amazon.com).
