Cyber Jazz recording artists Ajamu Akinyele, pronounced Ah- jah-moo + Ah-kin-yay-lay, and Jon O'Bergh will be performing their eclectic blend of smooth jazz - funk fusion as Gemini Soul the Month of December 2006.
You've heard the buzz about his latest CD “Black Magic The Cyber Jazz Experience," predicted to be one of “The Best Independent Jazz CD's of 2006," from music critics around the world. You've seen him on the morning television show Sacramento & Co. broadcasted on ABC. You've seen the amazing album cover. You've heard his music on independent and national radio stations around the world. And, his music was featured on the hit television show Girlfriends on the CW Network in the Bay Area, but who is the man behind the music?
Meet producer/bassist/keyboardist/pianist/label owner and one half of the dynamic duo “Gemini Soul," Andre Marcel Ajamu Akinyele, pronounced Ah-jah-moo + Ah-kin-yay-lay.
Ajamu Akinyele has a new double CD out titled “Black Magic The Cyber Jazz Experience" released earlier this year on his own recording label Pearl Jazz. As MARCEL, he released five CD's ranging from Funk to World, but as Ajamu Akinyele, embarked on his first cyber jazz release titled “Supernova" in 2005.
Jon O'Bergh, the other half of Gemini Soul, plays keyboard and piano with a combination of sequenced music to add a “Live" feel to the overall performance, i.e. Herbie Hancock, Tori Amos, and Sweetback; while Ajamu Akinyele plays bass laying down pure funk, i.e. Marcus Miller, Stanley Clarke, Prince and MeShell Ndegeocello creating a unique and identifiable sound called “Cyber-Jazz," which is a blend of smooth jazz-funk fusion.
“Black Magic The Cyber Jazz Experience" has been labeled “Musically stunning & captivating" by his peers. Jazz Improv Magazine calls “Black Magic The Cyber Jazz Experience"...Creative & Entrancing; The Sacramento Cultural Hub Magazine calls it...Outstanding; while San Diego City Beat says...Ajamu gets down for the funk of it. With reviews like this Gemini Soul w/ Ajamu Akinyele are well on their way.
Ajamu Akinyele's style of music has been compared to the smooth sounds of Sade, the laidback grooves of bassist MeShell Ndegeocello, the funkiness of Pop Icon Prince, and the fusion of Miles Davis. Ajamu Akinyele states “My overall goal is to introduce my music to all generations and to all ethnic backgrounds in support of jazz of all genres, trying to unite us as a people of one nation under a groove through cyber jazz."
“Black Magic The Cyber Jazz Experience" the new double CD from Ajamu Akinyele is available at: CDBaby, Amazon, and I-Tunes (Search: Ajamu Akinyele).
