Made up of a multigenerational group of mainly nonprofessional singers backed by some of the citys finest musicians, their music marries hip strains of gospel with layers of jazz, soul and funk. While aspects of their music might recall Kamasi Washington, The Staple Singers or Sly Stone, Jimettas unique vision has resulted in new spirituallycharged forms of music whose wholehearted embrace of love, joy and peace act as sonic healing balms for the soul.For Jimetta whose resume includes collaborations with Miguel Atwood Ferguson, Georgia Anne Muldrow, SaRa Creative Partners, Angel Bat Dawid, Shafiq Husayn, MED and Blu the very act of creation was part of a healing process I was very low at the time and I wrote most of the songs going through hardship. But I found comfort in the songs and a way to adjust my mindset to where things got better. So I thought if this music works for me, maybe it will work for other people I believe that every person has their own voice and their own note and that we can use our voices to heal ourselves. Thats the intention behind creating the project.After putting out a call on social media for people interested in joining her choir she was met with a sea of replies. Members were chosen in lessthan conventional fashion I recruited people based on their interest in healing themselves and others, not necessarily on their musical experience or being seasoned performers she says. Among those accepted into the everevolving collective, which was begun initially as a community choir, were the likes of Sly Stones daughter Novena Carmel, better known as a radio DJ for KCRWs flagship breakfast show. Jimettas upbringing in the Pentecostal church, where she was a youth choir director, fed into her otherwise intuitive teachings of her songs and arrangements to the inexperienced members with help from the groups seasoned organ playercomusical director Jack Maeby.Produced by Mario Caldato Jr. Beastie Boys, Seu Jorge and his wife Samantha Caldato the results show the incredible sense of togetherness and communal spirit that the group had built up over time in the rehearsal sessions. The six tracks of their debut album, a mixture of originals and rearranged covers, are performed in a wideeyed mix of styles that reflect Jimettas vision for borderless music Its new black classical music, she explains. Its all the hodgepodge of being an African American but also with creativity and vision for the future. It has a taste of what is to come and what we can do. What we have gone through and who we are now.
