Since the dawn of recorded sound, music can be seen as a giant tapestry to which all musicians lend their creative influence. One band focused on the explosive evolution of this musical ecosystem is Groundation. Rooted in the reggae one-drop sound of Jamaica, Groundation seamlessly incorporates the harmonic, polyrhythmic, and improvisational elements of jazz, breathing new life into both genres. As one critic described it, Groundation begins at the crossroads where Burning Spear meets John Coltrane.
Continuing the band's long history of collaboration with Jamaican roots reggae legends like Don Carlos, IJahman Levi and The Congos, A MIRACLE Groundation's 8th full-length studio album, to be released in October 21st 2014 with Soulbeats Records, evokes the lasting and eternal influence of Bob Marley, A MIRACLE will features Marcia Griffiths and Judy Mowatt, founding members of Marley's legendary backing vocal trio the I-Threes. The picture is completed by the pen of Neville Garrick, Marley's art director from the time of the "Rastaman Vibration" album (1976) who made a very psychedelic cover album which reflects well the Groundation's virtuosity, its Californian origines and positive melodies.
Following this long-awaited release, Groundation will continue to spread the good word and believe in miracles ...
