Kazemde George is a Brooklyn-based jazz saxophonist, composer, educator, and
beat-maker known for his emotionally direct melodies, warm tone, and thoughtful
restraint. Raised in Berkeley, California by Caribbean parents, Kazemde was immersed
in diverse musical traditions and began playing piano, saxophone, and percussion at an
early age.
He completed the Harvard/New England Conservatory Joint Program, earning a BA in
Neurobiology (Harvard) and an MA in Jazz Composition (NEC). In 2012, he was awarded Harvard’s George Peabody Gardener Fellowship to study traditional music in Havana, Cuba.
Kazemde’s debut album, I Insist , was released on Greenleaf Music (Dave Douglas) in
October 2021. His sophomore album is expected in 2026 on La Reserve Records. He
has performed with artists such as Solange Knowles, David Murray, Jason Moran, and
Ethan Iverson, at venues and festivals including Dizzy's Club, The Jazz Gallery, Yoshi’s, Lincoln Center, Panama Jazz Festival, AfroPunk, and more.
