Saxophonist and composerImmanuel 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 byMeshell Ndegeocello, and featuringMicah Thomason piano,Rick Rosatoon bass,Kweku Sumbryon drums, and vocalistsGanavya,June McDoomandYaw Agyemanas well as special guest appearances by vocalistCcile McLorin Salvant, guitaristMarvin Sewell, and drummerChris Daveits Wilkins most ambitious LP to date.Blues Bloodmarks the first time Wilkins has included vocalists on an album, with each of the distinctive voices tapping into different aspects of heritage.Blues Bloodfeels airy and celestial, meant to be a soothing balm for anyone searching for peace, and for Black people trying to reconcile history in a country that tries to erase it. The album explores blues as a symbol of radical optimism in the face of adversity and blood as a symbol of all things ancestral and generational.
