| | Listen to this clip of AfroHorn, filmed and recorded on May 26, 2018 at Vision Festival 23, Roulette, Brooklyn. Join us for a live concert on Sunday. | | |  Six powerhouse individual jazz musicians come together in big band style to explore the musical connections between the Caribbean, America, Africa, and Latin America. AfroHORN, conceived by Francisco Mora-Catlett during his time in the Sun Ra Arkestra, is a musical exploration of Henry Dumas' short story, "Will the Circle Be Unbroken?" and the metaphor of the Afro Horn, an instrument so mythically potent that it simultaneously unites and empowers.
Francisco Mora-Catlett and his New York-based jazz ensemble, draws on the metaphor of the Afro Horn, creating a stirring evening of Afro Cuban sounds, world music styles, and avant-garde jazz.

Featured musicians: Román Díaz (percussion); Alex Harding (baritone saxophone); Francisco Mora-Catlett (drums); Sam Newsome (soprano saxophone); and Aruán Ortiz (Piano) | | | | | "Led by the drummer and composer Francisco Mora-Catlett, AfroHORN seeks a mystical but earthy vision of rhythm and folklore, inspired not only by Afro-Cuban music but also the Sun Ra Arkestra, in which Mr. Mora-Catlett played in the 1970s…"
