"Gemini Soul's music is a conceptually innovative form of fusion not entirely unlike some of Herbie Hancock's & Miles Davis' material." ~ JazzReview

Gemini Soul will be making their debut appearance at
The Silk Road Lounge located in Oakland's Jack London Square. Gemini Soul will be performing 2 shows of their eclectic blend of jazz/funk fusion with an electronic element;
Sunday – January 18th @ 7:30 PM & 9:30 PM; Free Admission.
Gemini Soul will be performing material from their new double CD
Dark Skin Babies : The Movement. "Dark Skin Babies : The Movement" will be released January 20th and features a two CD set, which contains 20 tracks of non-stoppable experimental jazz funk-fusion at its best. With all songs produced, arranged and composed by
Andre Ajamu Akinyele, bandleader and bassist, this marks as Gemini Soul's fifth album. This is Gemini Soul's most political and social conscience collection to date. "Dark Skin Babies : The Movement" is the follow-up to their 2008 release
The Nefertiti Xperience.
Gemini Soul, which consists of
Andre Ajamu Akinyele (Ah-jah-moo + Ah-kin-yay-lay),
Jon O'Bergh,
Andrew Foster and
Alex Marks have expanded once again by adding special guest
Waahid Jones on saxophone and additional percussion. Ajamu Akinyele states
"I feel this album will be appreciated by lovers of real music without boundaries, artists and likeminded individuals who think outside the box."
This album isn't just creatively innovative, but spectacular from beginning to end. Gemini Soul's "Cyber Jazz" is here to stay and they continue to redefine jazz for a new generation. Gemini Soul's music isn't your typical jazz; it's Cyber Jazz!
Gemini Soul's performances are engaging, energizing, exciting, and displays musicianship at its best. Gemini Soul's performances have been compared to the funk fusion of bassists
Marcus Miller and
Stanley Clarke, the pop/funk/jazz fusion of
Miles Davis and
Herbie Hancock.
