Jazz
On this half-hour disc, Georgia Anne Muldrow operates as Jyoti, a name given to her by family friend Alice Coltrane. The alias is used for her jazz-inspired works, and here, she goes way out -- and way back -- to modernize late-‘60s and early-‘70s avant-garde and electronic jazz within the framework of a presumably one-woman band. (Again, she is joined by Her Ancestral Orchestra, whose lineup is not specified.) Just about any attempt at vocalizing over these tracks will result in bugged-out silence. The most mind-bending one of the bunch is the title track, which carries echoes of Herbie Hancock's “Rain Dance” but sounds more like a windstorm, built on revolving hand percussion, electronic zaps, and smudged flute trills in place of horns. A close second is “Thread’s First Stitches,” all haunted synthesizer frequencies and sparsely deployed trap fillips. Not for every Muldrow fan, this will nonetheless remain one of the producer’s most fascinating releases. Familiarity with Hancock’s Patrick Gleeson-assisted sessions, Tonto’s Expanding Head Band, the first Weather Report album, and George Duke's most out-there moments will not hurt. ~ Andy Kellman, Rovi

Georgia Anne Muldrow grew up in a musical home in Los Angeles, her father an instrument inventor for Eddie Harris and her mother, Rickie Byars, a singer with the Pharoah Sanders Ensemble and co-founder of Sound of Agape Rhythms. After relocating to New York, the young musician/producer/vocalist recorded seven songs for her 2005 self-released EP, Worthnothings. The album got the attention of Sa-Ra and the Platinum Pied Pipers, who both asked her to write songs for them. Stones Throw Records owner Peanut Butter Wolf was also impressed by Muldrow and signed her to a two-album deal. In April 2006, Worthnothings was re-released on Stones Throw, followed shortly after by her full-length debut, Olesi: Fragments of an Earth. Sagala, credited to Pattie Blingh & the Akebulan 5 but an all-Muldrow affair, was issued in 2007 on the Ramp label. The second Georgia Anne Muldrow full-length, Umsindo, as well as Ms. One -- a production showcase featuring several singers and MCs -- were both issued in 2009 on her and husband Dudley Perkins' SomeOthaShip label. (A compilation of previously unreleased material, Early, surfaced near the end of the year.) Kings Ballad, featuring a gorgeous ode to the late Michael Jackson as its title track, followed in early 2010 on Ubiquity, and it was followed only a couple weeks later by SomeOthaShip (released on Mello Music), co-billed to Perkins' Declaime alias and featuring collaborations with Black Milk, Flying Lotus, Big Pooh, and Kool G. Rap. Muldrow has also collaborated with Dwight Trible, J*Davey, and Erykah Badu, and she produced the entirety of Perkins' Holy Smokes.
