Here's what they are saying about Mozayik's “Haitian Creole Jazz:"

Bruce Crowther, swing2bop.com:

“An entertaining and imaginative blending of jazz with the music of Haiti, the homeland of the musicians gathered here in New York. Steeped in their national musical traditions, these fine musicians perform with authority yet with a lightness and swing that takes the listener on an absorbing musical journey."

Allegro-Music.com:

“Mozayik is poised to break out into the jazz and Afro-Caribbean music scene with their irresistible mix of sultry Creole melodies and percussive Haitian rhythm patterns."

JazzTrenzz : Haitian Creole Jazz “Mozayik" By Karl Stober:

“Mix the backdrop of Afro-Haitian origin with the eclectic jazz mentality along with the drive of five gifted troubadours; the stage becomes stimulating for a novel musical encounter. ...a true piece of fine arrangements and compositions....flows like gentle waters guiding its every note, an exceptional team effort by all musicians. Take this Mozayik of eclectic music and hang it on your personal collection."

George W. Carroll/The Musician's Ombudsman:

“This CD is such a multi-cultural amalgam of jazz influences...Please note the particularly fine performances given by all the players without straining the traditional vocabulary of strong & viable bebop."
