Live review:
"...Words like fantastic, compelling, breathtaking, and original come close, but dissapoint as they only shed remote light on how truly amazing this band is live.....as the band took to the stage, a magnetic spark was immediatley exuded, lighting a night of pure funk, jazz, hip-hop, ska, reggae, disco, and latino rock. Hazie Maze, led by lead vocalist Amee Jana, absolutely dominated." - Chris Carpenter
Bring Us Together CD review:
"Hazie Maze’s front woman, Amee Jana, says that one of her turn-ons is the ability to converse without words. Her talent, however, is to use words to sing the songs that have put Hazie Maze on the map of the northeastern funk and groove scene. The band recalls undergrad days of going to see friends’ jazz/funk bands that were heavy on horns and the concept of jammin’. However, Hazie takes it to the next level with Jana’s crooning voice – similar to Morcheeba’s soulful Skye’s sound – and rhythmic inspiration that leaves endless jams at home and brings a sophistication to the band's impromptu vibe. On its latest release, Bring Us Together, the band thanks numerous Boston musical connections, including Candace Avery (formerly of NEMO) and Parliament’s George Clinton, which gives you an idea of where this CD is coming from..." - Anna Smith

Bio
Driven by the ultra funked-out diva Amee Jana, this seven-piece band has tapped into something that truly stands alone. They are magically delicious, with their incredible visual assault, captivating a wide audience with their infectious hooks, and improv grooves. A night where all senses will not go ignored.
Since the beginning, Hazie Maze's hard work and endless drive has been well-received by the industry, and was honored this year with a Boston Music Award Nomination for "Best Funk Band," and Amee Jana was nominated by the Syracuse Revolving Door Music Awards as "Best Female Artist." In addition, they've had many opportunities to share the stage with some musical greats such as the Grammy-nominated Los Amigos Invisibles, the legendary Neville Brothers, Papa Grows Funk, Max Creek, Raq, and Dr. Didg. These two years has proven that HM is unstoppable, and with the new album Bring Us Together now available, more great things will soon await the Maze.
This mystical band most certainly has created a 'buzz' around the Boston scene, as well as many other areas all over the Northeast, especially after the release of there new album. Playing over two hundred shows in record timing for a new band on the scene, Hazie Maze has developed a loyal and crazy groovin' fan base --- especially where their roots have grown in Boston, MA.
Hazie Maze presents an overwhelming amount of raw energy that overflows their stage. From Boston to New York City, from the hills of Vermont to New Hampshire, Hazie Maze is making their way across the Northeast, giving their audience a night to remember.
Amee Jana's wild and sexy stage performance, and her dynamic and fearless singing power, attitude and charisma guides you through the Hazie Maze experience with Ty Osborne's lyrical rap-mastery and electronic and acoustic drum combination, to Drewbud's mad soul bass lines and everlasting energy. And the combination of Chris Bingham on keyboards, Chris Marson bustin' out on trombone, Eric "E.B. Jammin" Brooks on tenor sax and newest member Stu Dietz ripping it up on the guitar complete this band's original mystique and ultimate experience.
