Rooted in the reggae one-drop 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. Groundations unique reggae fusion can be heard from villages in Thailand, to the favelas of Brazil, from the mountains of New Zealand, to Moroccan cafes and college dorm rooms in the United States. Since 1998 theyve 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 bands long history of collaboration with Jamaican roots reggae legends like Don Carlos, IJahman Levi and The Congos, Groundations 8th full-length studio album evokes the lasting and eternal influence of Bob Marley, "A Miracle" will features Marcia Griffiths and Judy Mowatt, founding members of Marleys legendary backing vocal trio the I-Threes. The picture is completed by the pen of Neville Garrick, Marleys art director from the time of the "Rastaman Vibration" album (1976).
