"Musique Noire fuses world music and jazz, resulting in a style that is at once classical and cutting edge. The unconventional combination of violin, viola and percussion lends an exotic air to the groups arrangements of jazz standards and original compositions." ~ J.Nadir Omowale
JUST ADDED!!!!
We are VERY pleased to announce the addition of Ms. Paris Mason, who will open our show! Paris is an incredible vocalist with deep Detroit roots. She trained with the Mosaic Youth Theatre and after graduating from Stevenson High School attended Wayne State University. Paris has performed at the Fox Theatre, Detroit Film Theatre and the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History, among others. Her signature sound is soulful (think Jazmine Sullivan), with deep and meaningful lyrics--a wonderful compliment to our style! Photo: LeBrun S. Jackson
