"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, 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.
Gemini Soul:
Andre Ajamu Akinyele - bass & programming
Jon O'Bergh - keyboards & piano
Andrew Foster - percussion
Alex Marks - drums
Waahid Jones - saxophone & percussion
