Ajamu Akinyele
Ajamu Akinyele's latest double CD is titled Black Magic The Cyber Jazz Experience released early 2006 on the Pearl Jazz Recording Label. As MARCEL, he released five CDs ranging from Funk to World, but as Ajamu Akinyele, embarked on his first cyber jazz release titled Supernova in 2005.
"Black Magic The Cyber Jazz Experience" has been labeled "musically stunning and captivating" by his peers. Jazz Improv Magazine calls it...Creative & Entrancing; The Sacramento Cultural Hub Magazine calls it...Outstanding; JazzReview.com says...This proves to be the perfect formula for a winning endeavor; while San Diego City Beat says...Ajamu gets down for the funk of it.
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, while trying to unite us as a people under one nation through the groove of cyber jazz."
