About the Haitian Jazz Festival (From SOBs website)
Jazz is the art of expression set to music! Jazz is said to be the fundamental rhythms of human life and man?s contemporary reassessment of his traditional values. Volumes have been written on the origins of jazz based on Black American life-styles. The early influences of tribal drums and the development of gospel, blues and field hollers seems to point out that jazz has to do with human survival and the expression of life.
The origin of the word 'jazz' is most often traced back to a vulgar term used for sexual acts. Some of the early sounds of jazz where associated with whore houses and 'ladies of ill repute.' However, the meaning of jazz soon became a musical art form, whether under composition guidelines or improvisation, jazz reflected spontaneous melodic phrasing. Jazz is essentially another Black art form, developed and made popular here in the United States by African-Americans.
And in the music's hundred year existence, the tradition's greatest innovators (Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Billie Holiday, Charlie Parker, Thelonious Monk, John Coltrane, and Ornette Coleman, just to name a few) have been black. However, the Jazz music has since evolved to an international and universal level, to the point where we now have: Latin Jazz/ Brazilian Jazz/ Cuban Jazz/ Japanese Jazz etc. Basically, most cultures around the world found their niches in Jazz music.
Over the years, Haiti has been home to many great jazz musicians, unfortunately with the dominance of Konpa Music, many Haitians have sort of ignored this genre of music and these musicians, but there are a small minority of Haitians in Haiti and abroad that are very fond of Jazz music and have shown serious support to the Haitians musicians who dedicated their lives and craft to playing Jazz music, despite the fact that it's not the dominant and popular art form in Haiti.
This year, SOB'S decided to create an event and a platform to honor these serious musicians under one roof on one stage. The thought of having : BOULO VALCOURT, REGINALD POLICARD, JOEL WIDMAIER, BUYU AMBROISE, MOZAYIK, BEETHOVA OBAS, EMELINE MICHEL ETC. on the same stage on October 9th, can send chills throughout the bodies of the many fans that love these artists and the musical genre that they play....
Again, remember to purchase your tickets through our box office or at Ticketmaster locations, this show will be a dinner setting show, giving the elegance, class, and respect that the music deserves.!!!
