Description
Double LP
Third studio album from saxophonist and composer Immanel Wilkins
Saxophonist/composer Immanuel Wilkins’ third studio album,Blues Blood, is a meditative offering partially inspired by his childhood, a multimedia performance about the legacies of our ancestors and the bloodlines connecting us.
Co-produced by Meshell Ndegeocello and feat. Micah Thomas (piano), Rick Rosato (bass), Kweku Sumbry
(drums), and vocalists Ganavya, June McDoom and Yaw Agyeman with guest appearances by vocalist Ccile
McLorin Salvant, Marvin Sewell (guitar), and Chris Dave (drums) it’s his most ambitious LP to date.Blues Blood
marks the first time he’s included vocalists on an album, with each distinctive voice tapping into different aspects of heritage.
Blues Bloodfeels airy and celestial a soothing balm for anyone searching for peace, and for Black people trying to reconcile history in a country that tries to erase it. It explores “blues” as a symbol of radical optimism in the face of adversity and “blood” as a symbol of all things ancestral and generational.
