The jazz band Heavy Merge was founded in New York City in 1997 by bassist Orlando Marin, Jr. and singer Genevieve Gazon. Their first gig together was at a local club called ~The Dark Star Lounge. The band's music is a mixture they like to call Latin funk and soul.Marin grew up in the world of music, and seems to at least partly be following in the footsteps of his Latin musician father, Orlando Marin, Sr. Gazon isn't a greenhorn in the business either. She has been the founder of two rock bands, and is a talented songwriter. Other members of Heavy Merge are keyboardist Tino Derado, drummer Robert Bonhomme, saxophonist Pablo Gil, percussionist Peter Basil, and background vocalist Carolyn Saxon.
