Immanuel Wilkins - Blues Blood - Blue Note LP

Double LP — Third Studio Album from Saxophonist Immanuel Wilkins

Saxophonist and composer Immanuel Wilkins' third studio album, Blues Blood, is a meditative offering partially inspired by his childhood and conceived as a multimedia performance about the legacies of our ancestors and the bloodlines connecting us. Co-produced by Meshell Ndegeocello, it features Micah Thomas (piano), Rick Rosato (bass), Kweku Sumbry (drums), and vocalists Ganavya, June McDoom, and Yaw Agyeman, with guest appearances by Cécile McLorin Salvant, Marvin Sewell, and Chris Dave. His most ambitious LP to date, it explores "blues" as radical optimism in the face of adversity and "blood" as a symbol of all things ancestral and generational.
