Electrical Field of Love

Description

Described as “black music at its best” by NPR, Tubman has been a band that creates
its unique sound world through its exploration of all tributaries of what the Art
Ensemble of Chicago called “Great Black Music, Ancient to the Future.” Jazz, funk,
psychedelia, doom metal, soul, dub, and electronics are just some of what the group
amalgamates through their creative process into its own mystic brew.
Into this vortex enters Georgia Anne Muldrow , whose shared devotion to exploring
black music in all of its multivariate forms melds seamlessly into the Tubman
aesthetic. She moves freely within the music, with her voice by turns incantatory,
declarative, and spectral. Moments of raw propulsion resolve to space and rare
beauty.
Throughout, the emphasis is on listening – musicians responding in real time, shaping
form through insight rather than formula, moving with the force of electric Miles, the
ooze of the heaviest Funkadelic, and the sharpened edge of the Black Rock aesthetic.
Through collective creativity, the convergence of these kindred spirits results in music
that feels both deeply grounded and yet, inspiringly exploratory.
