The creation of a supergroup is like the formation of a new solar system in the galaxy of music: an assemblage of musical planets circling in an orbit of inspiration around a sun exuding rays of artistic creativity. The birth of the ensemble OZmosys is an event of galactic proportions, and the release of their debut CD. Eyes to the Future, is destined to alter the shape of music to come in the 21st century.
A musical kaleidoscope composed of the multi-genre history of all the band members, OZmosys is led by two superstars: Omar Hakim, the child prodigy from Queens, New York, and a graduate of that city’s famed High School of Music and Art, who is arguably the world’s most widely-recorded drummer, who worked with everybody in the past four decades, from Michael Jackson, Miles Davis to Sting and Weather Report, and his wife, the Manhattan born Rachel Z, who has reigned supreme as the most original, eclectic, and enduring keyboardists of her generation. As an elite sideman for 4 decades, she has been performing with diverse talents, such as Wayne Shorter, Peter Gabriel, Steps Ahead, Neal Schon, Najee, and Pino Daniele, while maintaining a solo career which bore the fruit of 12 CDs comprised of her original arrangements and compositions! She has won several Grammys for her work with these artists.
