Mike Freeman ZonaVibe

With spirited soulful swing rooted in Afro-Cuban clave, Freeman creates a distinct brand of vibraphone-centric mambo- and salsa-inspired jazz-Latin-blues. His performances have taken him from North America and Europe to the Azores, Caribbean, and South America. His recordings of original music have received national and international attention charting on jazz, contemporary jazz, and World Music radio.

A Lower Manhattan Cultural Council Creative Engagement grant recipient, Freeman produced the concert series Boricua Blues, Hell’s Kitchen Soul Sauce, and Latin Music In Hell’s Kitchen, A History that included guest legends Ray Mantilla and Jose Mangual Jr.
