In the world of contemporary jazz, Philadelphia has always been the North Star. From the smooth textures of Grover Washington, Jr. to the legendary "Sound of Philadelphia" created by Gamble & Huff, the city demands a certain level of soul, grit, and musical mastery. ZOAY JAZZ doesn't just meet that standard?they embody it.

With the launch of their new digital home, www.zoayjazzmusic.com, the band is celebrating a legacy that spans over two decades of captivating audiences and redefining the "smooth yet funky" groove.

A Legacy of Excellence

Originally formed in 2001 as ZOE?, the ensemble quickly became an integral part of the elite jazz circuit. Under the core leadership of Cleveland Belin, Jr. (Keyboards), David M. Ferebee (Drums), and H. Maurice Fonville (Bass), the group has proven to be an unbreakable combination. Their journey through acclaimed albums like Long Time, Heaven Bound, and Let?s Fly paved the way for their powerhouse 2013 project, Unstoppable?a title that remains a mission statement for the band today.

From the Festival Stage to the Inner Circle

ZOAY JAZZ is no stranger to the big stage. Having shared the spotlight with national icons like Mindi Abair, Jeff Kashiwa, and Cindy Bradley, and opening for legends such as Phil Perry and The Delfonics, they have refined a live performance that is as much "pure entertainment" as it is musical virtuosity.

Whether they are headlining the Catalina Jazz Fest, performing for the Wawa Welcome America series at Penn?s Landing, or setting the mood at high-end venues like Blues Alley, ZOAY JAZZ delivers a high-spirited, refreshing sound that serves the "Heart & Soul."

The 2026 Vision: Refreshing. Groovy. Unstoppable.

As we move into 2026, ZOAY JAZZ continues to provide the audience with exactly what they deserve: the very best. Their music is designed for the sophisticated listener?whether you?re winding down from a long day, dining at a five-star venue, or cruising through the city.
