About
7-time GRAMMY-nominated composer and pianist Omar Sosa has forged a distinctive musical path, fusing an array of jazz, world music, hip-hop, and electronic elements with his AfroCuban roots. Omar Sosa returns to Cape May with his JOG Trio in support of his current CD, JOG, featuring award-winning German trumpet player Joo Kraus, and renowned percussionist Manolo Badrena. The Trio, exemplifying Omar’s philosophy of jazz as freedom, is improvisation-based, each player bringing his musical roots to the collective experience. Omar and Joo both use various electronic effects and samples, and Joo contributes occasional spoken word vocals. The Trio’s repertoire includes a number of Omar’s signature compositions – “My Three Notes”, “Light In The Sky”, and “Muevete en D” – as well as material from its new CD, “JOG”, which received a 4.5-star review in Downbeat magazine....
