VODOU JAZZ
Jean-Paul Bourelly & Ayibobo
Sunday, September 21, 2003
9:30pm @ Joe's Pub -- Public Theater
Genre-spanning guitarist Jean-Paul Bourelly makes a rare NYC appearance with
his Haitian roots group Ayibobo, playing "modern music with roots" Bourelly
has performed with an astonishing array of artists, including Miles Davis, Elvin
Jones, McCoy Tyner, Cassandra Wilson and the JB Horns.  Born to first
generation Haitians, Jean-Paul applied his own singular musical vision to a blend of
Haitian VODOU cult music, and hard-edged Chicago blues, inspired by Muddy
Waters, Jimi Hendrix and a splash of Santana.

Formed with members of the seminal mizik racine group Foula, Bourelly and
Ayibobo's mid-90's album Freestyle (DIW) was a benchmark for experimental Haitian
based Jazz, blending motifs from traditional vodou chants and rhythms.  This
concert features Chico Boyer from Foula on Bass, Haitian songstress Rosena -
dance/vocals and other Haitian musicians, and will include music from previous
recordings as well as recent, unreleased material. http://www.bourelly.com
