A Miracle

• A Miracle - Grounding by Grounding (2014-10-21)

Rooted in the reggae sound of Jamaica, Groundation seamlessly incorporates the harmonic, polyrhythmic, and improvisational elements of jazz, breathing new life into both genres. As one critic described it, Groundation begins at the crossroads where Burning Spear meets John Coltrane. Since 1998 they ve performed in more than thirty countries on six continents, sharing the stage with such diverse artists as Jimmy Cliff, Sly and the Family Stone, The Roots, Kanye West, and Sonic Youth. Continuing the band s long history of collaboration with Jamaican roots reggae legends like Don Carlos, IJahman Levi and The Congos, A Miracle, Groundation s 8th full-length studio album, evokes the lasting and eternal influence of Bob Marley. A Miracle features Marcia Griffiths and Judy Mowatt, founding members of Marley s legendary backing vocal trio the I-Threes. The picture is completed by the pen of Neville Garrick, Marley s art director from the time of the Rastaman Vibration album (1976). Following this long-awaited release, Groundation will be hitting the road as always with an extensive tour including three UK dates.
