Omar Edwards & the New York Jazz Gypsies at Hudson River Museum
*The event has already taken place on this date: Fri, 08/01/2025
Internationally acclaimed tap dancer and griot Omar Edwards and his band, the New York Jazz Gypsies, take audiences on a journey through sound from jazz to funk and back again! The pulsating rhythms created by Edwards’s tap shoes, paired with the rich instrumentation of the ensemble—featuring keyboards, drums, percussion, and an eight-time Grammy-nominated trumpet player—create an unparalleled experience. It is the cadence and rhythm of Omar’s feet, rather than his voice, that lead guests through a range of musical genres.
