The Museum of Contemporary Art, North Miami, or MOCA, presents award-winning trumpet player Jean Caze as part of the monthly Jazz at MOCA series. In 2006, the Haitian-born trumpeter released his first album, Miami Jazz Scene. He has gone on to open for Wynton Marsalis, Roy Hargrove, and Jimmy Heath and in 2010, he accepted a position in Michael Bublé’s touring band. His latest album, Amédé, was released in 2015 to glowing reviews.

Caze has been awarded many scholarships to attend some of the country’s top musical institutions, including Juilliard’s Music Advancement Program where he received his first formal training and the Queens College Center for Preparatory Studies in Music Program. Caze is the winner of the 2006 International Trumpet Guild Jazz Competition and won second place in the 2007 Thelonious Monk International Jazz Competition.

The public is invited to come sit under the stars and listen to the trumpeting talent of Jean Caze.

The galleries will be open by donation, 7 – 10 pm.  This is the final week to enjoy the exhibition Acta Non Verba, works by Marielle Plaisir.”
