Cyber Jazz recording artists Andre Ajamu Akinyele - bass & programming (Ah-jah-moo + Ah-kin-yay-lay); Jon O'Bergh - keyboards, piano & programming; Andrew Foster - percussion; and Alex Marks - drums will make their debut at some of the nations top pop/funk/jazz venues performing their eclectic blend of jazz/funk fusion with an electronic element as Gemini Soul. Gemini Soul will visit The Rhythm Room in Phoenix, AZ; The Knitting Factory in Hollywood, CA; The Coach House in San Juan Capistrano, CA; Crossroads in Fresno, CA; and Kuumbwa Jazz Center in Santa Cruz, CA the Month of October. Tickets are on sale now at www.ticketweb.com and www.geminisoul.net.

Gemini Soul will be performing material from their third cyber jazz CD titled, “Live : The Liquid Soul Tour;” which features the music from their early 2007 release “Liquid Soul” and Ajamu Akinyele's critically acclaimed double jazz/fusion CD "Black Magic The Cyber Jazz Experience."

This isn’t your typical jazz, this is Cyber Jazz! “Live : The Liquid Soul Tour” captures Gemini Soul over several shows doing what they do best; performing live. Ajamu Akinyele’s bass playing is in the style of Stanley Clarke, Marcus Miller and Me’Shell Ndegeocello - a sight to be seen. Jon O’Bergh’s keyboard stylings capture the elements of 70’s funk, reminiscent of Herbie Hancock. Andrew Foster’s percussion adds a satin groove, keeping the music smooth and sexy; while Alex Marks’ drum stylings take you back to the pop/funk/jazz fusion of Miles Davis.

Gemini Soul's performances are smooth, sexy, energizing, stimulating, and displays musicianship at its best. Their shows have been compared to the smooth sounds of Sade, the funk fusion of bassists Marcus Miller and Me’Shell Ndegeocello, the pop/funk/jazz fusion of Miles Davis and Herbie Hancock, and piano wizard Dave Brubeck.
