Born in Montreal to Haitian parents, multi instrumentalist-composer-educator-producer Jowee (pronounced “Joey”) Omicilbrings a novel and distinctly Afro-Haitian perspective to his music. He’s part of a growing cadre of Caribbean-descendedartists bringing new flavours to the creative music spectrum. One who possesses a distinctive, soulful and spiritual soundon saxophones and flutes that extends to his clarinet and harmonica ventures. Jowee recorded Let's Bash! - his first‘international’ album release - in the south of France alongside a dozen fellow militants of groove, during a week whenthe full moon shone above.Jowee infuses his music with the freedom of jazz, the spirituality of gospel, and an aural universe of soul-shakinggrooves. Music which speaks to body and mind, in which melodic storytelling is essential, his Creole roots blending withgospel, soul, hip hop culture and world folklore, while paying homage to his jazz forefathers from Charlie Parker toOrnette Coleman to Wayne Shorter. As for Let’s Bash!, it is at once a battle cry and a declaration of love which concealsa fine profession of faith : I want jazz to be popular again.
