Guided  by the extraordinary rhythm of virtuoso tap dancer Chief Omar Zanzan Kavor Edwards, the New York Jazz Gypsies take audiences on a sonic journey that traverses a diverse landscape of sounds, from Jazz to Funk and back. The dynamic percussion of Omar’s  tap shoes, combined with the band's instrumentation, creates a one-of-a-kind experience, where the rhythm and cadence of his feet—not his voice—steer the audience through a vast river of musical genres.

“It’s Music. It’s Dance. It’s Dance. It’s Music… It’s a sonic extravaganza!”

“These Jazz Gypsies may very well be the pioneers of an entirely new genre.” 
— New York City Jazz Record

“Omar is a genius of sound and movement. He doesn’t just dance to the music; he embodies it.” 
— Rick Sordelet / Award-Winning Broadway Director
