Ocotea

Drawing from an ocean of influences such as Hendrix's Band of Gypsys, Swamini Truiyasangitanada's Monastic Trio, Charlie Mingus, Eric Dolphy, Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, Henry Threadgill, Sun Ra, and Stevie Wonder( to name a few), Ocotea is a new frontier for Georgia Anne Muldrow's sonic discoveries. She is appearing as Jyoti (meaning light in Sanskrit) in all of her 'jazz' recordings to come, paying homage to the great and masterful ancestor Alice Coltrane who gifted her with this name shortly before she ascended into an even higher consciousness. Infused with experimental synthesizers that possess a pan-tonal sensibility, and melodies that soar about with raw musicianship, Ocotea is not one to miss!
