Listen to “Joes Pub/NY Concert February 25th, Don’t Miss it, Majid Khaliq is a violinist and composer cut from a different cloth…” on Spreaker.

Ma*Jid is a contemporary jazz ensemble that’s comprised of a rhythm section,
strings and brass. The band has been described by legendary musician Wynton
Marsalis as having “a unique blend of improvisation, groove and technical
sophistication.”
Ma*Jid possesses all of the significant parts of the symphony
orchestra, thus allowing the music to move freely in and out of the various
musical influences.
The Band members, (Majid Khaliq/ bandleader/ Violin, Conun Pappas/
Keyboards, Norman Paul Edwards Jr./ Drums and Alex “Busby” Smith/ Bass),
are among the most active young talent on the N.Y. jazz scene today. As a
band, the Ma*Jid has been together for about 12 years.
Since their first performance, it has been the mission of Ma*Jid to provide
diverse musical presentations. These presentations showcase the music of its resident
composer Majid Khaliq while highlighting contemporary composers at the same time.
Ma*Jid has been forward looking in programming and in performance. The band
consistently delivers a mix of original, soul and hip-hop jazz compositions in every
power packed performance.
Each band member has been described as being deeply interested in presenting
music with a close ensemble interplay and depth in harmonic composition. Some of
their key projects include recordings such as the band’s debut record named “The
Basilisk”, the Blues with Strings Project with Kammermusik of Long Island, mixtapes
“Sfumato Symphony Vl 1&2”, Four Emotions of an African in America Project featuring
choreography by Gelan Lambert and the greatly anticipated 2nd studio album entitled
“SOUND OF A FLOWER” 2018.
With each performance, Ma*Jid is pleased to invite listeners to enjoy the essence
of creatively composed, soul moving, authentic jazz music.
