Self taught pianist, Mushy Widmaier is one of the best jazz pianists in the Caribbean. His ability to create ambiances and to develop a unique type of Kreyol jazz is what characterizes his style. The serenity and maturity acquired during the making of his albums ‘Kote’ou’ and ‘My World’ have allowed him to extend his musical language.
