The first form of jazz was called Creole music. It was not only popular in New Orleans but also in Haiti, Guadeloupe, Martinique, and Trinidad. When New Orleans became American, the connection between musicians from the French post-plantation society began to erode.
However, the connection between the French Antilles and Haiti never withered. In that tradition, Guadeloupean jazz musician Jacques Schwarz-Bart has long called upon his Haitian counterparts, including his musical collaboration with pianist Carl-Henri Morisset.
Morriset is one of Europe's premier piano players, and Schwarz-Bart was voted the best saxophone player in France for 2025. Recently featured together in the group Black Lives, an all-star group of Black musicians from around the world, Schwarz-Bart said, "I released a sax/piano duet album lately, and I am excited to present this collaboration between Carl-Henri Morisset and myself, as the symbol of two Caribbean people with one Creole soul."
