PASCAL BOKAR is considered to be The Father of the Afro Blue Grazz sound attested to by numerous accolades. Pascal Bokar has received the Jim Hall Jazz Master Award for Guitarists from Berklee College of Music and the Outstanding Jazz Soloist Award presented by Dizzy Gillespie and James Moody. The funky, jazzy, bluesy, bluegrass-y, joyous music performed by his Afro Blue Grazz band is most infectious and simply must be seen and heard! No matter where they perform the Pascal Bokar Afro Blue Grazz Band ignites an audience and impels them to dance from their seats.

This composer-guitarist-educator’s take on the African roots of jazz and Delta blues is skillfully and uniquely interwoven into his performances, thanks to his large band; a revue so mighty, most stages seem barely able to contain its energy, not to mention its personnel. The Pascal Bokar Afro Blue Grazz Band sounds like a great convergence of The Love Unlimited Orchestra and Fela Kuti’s s Egypt 80. Pascal Bokar is singularly a charismatic guitarist and bandleader who moves his players through a relentless groove, fed by drums, congas, two keyboards and-most surprising and delightfully-fiddle and banjo. Vocalists and dancers are featured amid a celebratory spirit, drawing from multiple traditional music. No wonder his "Guitar Balafonics" received a 4-star review from Downbeat performance. No one will want to miss the experience of hearing the Pascal Bokar Afro Blue Grazz Band.
