Director and Choreographer Maija Garcia joins forces with composer and flute virtuoso Claudia Hayden to create Havana Moods, a music video celebrating the art of movement and improvisation in Jazz music. The body - an instrument as essential to jazz as the bass, drums or horn, is a central focus as dancers & musicians create a magical vibe on the pier of 125th street in the heart of Harlem. Wardrobe by fashion designer and celebrity stylist Carlton Jones brings Garcia's fluid choreography and Hayden's luscious track to life.
