Ghazi Omair & Friends (feat. DJ Z-Rex)

Hartford Hip-Hop lyricist and poet Ghazi Omair will focus on the musical space between Hip-Hop and Jazz, with an evening of music, rap, poetry and dance. Joined by DJ Z-Rex, jazz musicians Matt Dwonszyk – Bass, Jonathan Barber – Drums, Taber Gable – Piano/Keys, Michael Pallas –Trombone, and Josh Bruneau – Trumpet, and dancers Chantal Edwards Matthews and Savana Jones, Ghazi will interweave his rap/poetry and conversations of social commentary between the songs.
