On March 4th, at 9:30 pm, Gashford Guillaume (@gashfordg) brings his finely tuned drumming and song writing style to our stage. He has opened a new chapter in #worldmusic – a style that fuses traditional #Haitian rhythms with the smooth, syncopated beats of one of the world’s most beloved art forms: #jazz.

Creole Fusion Ensemble's music will feature his various compositions and arrangements. Inspired by these various genres of music, a listen will reveal their funk, pop, soul and Afro-Caribbean music influences. Gashford will be joined by long time friend and dynamic vocalist Zaxai (pronounced Zah-Ky), who was a finalist on the hit television show, THE VOICE. This show promises to take you on an amazing musical journey.

Gashford’s musical influence has been felt far and wide. He has played with artists such as: James Germain, Eric Virgal, Orlane, Eddy Brissaux, Chardavoine, Gifrants, Yanick Etien, Felina Backer, Claude Aurelien, Michael Philips, Revelation, Lataye, Tjovi Ginen, Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra, Calyn, Morena, The Altino Brothers, Jephte Guillaume, and the Tet Kale Orkestra, Illogical Poetry, Eric Mcdaniels, Dickson Guillaume & the New York State Haitian Interdenominational Mass Choir, Jowee Omicil, Buyu Ambroise & the Blues in Red Band. Currently, Gashford is at the epicenter of a rapidly growing Haitian Jazz Movement.
