NYC: MOZIK AT THE MET TONIGHT - CAPTIVATING MUSIC MAGIC
MOZIK will be presented at THE METROPOLITAN ROOM (34 West 22nd Street, NYC - 212-206-0440) on Saturday, July 6th at 7:00 pm. MOZIK is a collaboration between pianist Gilson Schachnik and drummer Mauricio Zottarelli, both Brazilian musicians based in the US. The group offers a muscular new take on Brazilian jazz through their original compositions and unique arrangements of classic songs, showcasing many different styles and grooves. Their captivating album MOZIK reflects their deep engagement with Brazilian rhythms and forms, filtered through their love of the early fusion of Chick Corea and Herbie Hancock. The group includes a fascinating international cast of musicians, including Brazilian guitarist Gustavo Assis-Brasil, Russian flutist Yulia Musayelyan and Argentine bassist Fernando Huergo. The quintet navigates effortlessly the intricate grooves with much precision and power, from Afoxe beats to Maracatu grooves, baiao, samba, folkloric melodies, and bossa-nova and jazz inspired harmonies. There is a $15 cover plus a 2-drink minimum.
