    Soul, Afrofuturism & the Timeliness of Contemporary Jazz Fusions Gabriel Solis Abstract: The rise of jazz-R&B-hip hop fusions in contemporary Los Angeles offers an opportunity to Downloaded from http://direct.mit.edu/daed/article-pdf/148/2/23/1831401/daed_a_01740.pdf by guest on 02 October 2021 reflect on the ways jazz matters to black audiences today. Drawing on recent Afrofuturist art and theo- ry as well as on Amiri Baraka’s analysis of the “changing same” in black music, this essay traces out the significance of work by artists as diverse as Kamasi Washington, Flying Lotus, Thundercat, and Robert Glasper, positing that their music tells us that jazz matters not only in itself, but also in its continuing ca- pacity to engage in cross-genre dialogues for musicians and audiences who hear it as part of a rich con- tinuum of African American musical expression. We are, it seems, in an age of Afrofuturism. The release of the Black Panther feature film in Febru- ary 2018 was greeted with a spate of think pieces across a range of media, explaining the term Afro- futurism for an unfamiliar audience. “T’Challa, also known as the Black Panther, the title character of the blockbuster movie, wasn’t the first person to land a spaceship (or something like it) in down- town Oakland, Calif.,” starts one such article.1 Such pieces point back to bandleaders Sun Ra and George Clinton (and sometimes to Jamaican dub artist Lee “Scratch” Perry) to provide background for the film’s mix of the old and the new, technolo- gy and the spirit, space-age Africa, and, eventually, a sense of diasporic culture that travels in both di- rections across the Black Atlantic–in ships in the gabriel solis is Professor of sky rather than the sea–suturing the fissures rent Musicology at the University of by the middle passage, by war, and by colonial mo- Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

  • DONNIE Our Featured Artist, Singer/Composer, DONNIE, Was Born in Lexington but Raised in Atlanta, Ga. He Was Nurtured Artistical
    DONNIE Our featured artist, singer/composer, DONNIE, was born in Lexington but raised in Atlanta, Ga. He was nurtured artistically in the same musical tradition that gave rise to such singers as India Arie, Anthony David, D’Angelo and other artists often characterized as “Neo-Soul”. What has set DONNIE apart from his contemporaries is that he has embraced the politically-oriented, “consciousness- raising” side of Soul as well as its romantic element. As a result, he has often been compared to such musical visionaries as Marvin Gaye, Donny Hathaway and Stevie Wonder. Marvin Gaye is, in fact, his cousin. His first release, the critically acclaimed album The Colored Section, was released in 2001 on Giant Step and later released on Motown in 2002. The Boston Globe praised it as “…..perhaps the best Soul record since Stevie Wonder’s masterpieces of the 1970’s”. His second release, The Daily News, released in 2007, has an even more potently political, consciousness-raising message. DONNIE has been working as a professional artist since the age of 15. After a start in Gospel music, his travels have taken him to Europe where he sang back-up in the Pre-Olympics Festival in Barcelona, Spain and the Quincy Jones Montreux Jazz Festival in Montreux, Switzerland. He has sung background vocals for such Gospel giants as Tramaine Hawkins, the late Andrae Crouch, Shun Pace Rhodes, Yolanda Adams and many more. He has opened as a solo artist for Jody Watley, Ashford and Simpson, Al Green, Kem and Boney James to name a few. DONNIE continues to use his gifts as a singer/composer in the pursuit of his true passion—the creation of musicals.
