Jimetta Rose

Born: April 26, 1983

MettaSun album bio by Marcus Moore:

To encounter Jimetta Rose’s new album is to step through a spiritual portal. One moment, you’re rooted in the familiar terrain of jazz lineage and soul tradition; the next, you’re somewhere else entirely, somewhere luminous and governed only by possibility.

That place, as Rose imagines it, is MettaSun, a sonic and philosophical plane inspired by the cosmic teachings of Sun Ra, but fully reimagined through her own lens.

This project began as a seed planted years ago by a trusted collaborator — the DJ and producer Ras G — who told Rose that her artistic future could eventually resemble that of June Tyson, the distinguished voice of Sun Ra’s Arkestra. Rose had long admired Sun Ra’s music, though she initially knew him more through his instrumental catalog than his vocal work. That changed once she began diving deeper, discovering the fluidity of his universe, and the way his music felt equally structured and abstract, disciplined and mystical. In those songs, Rose found inspiration and permission to reassert her voice.

The direct-to-disc recording equipment in Haarlem's Artone studio resembles a vintage control room for time travel, or maybe the record deck in a cyberpunk loft. And yes, that's Haarlem, not Harlem, though one could be excused for mixing them up here. This is where Isaiah Collier came to record Parallel Universe, a valiant and affirmative album ...

The depth and range of the music that jazz players have put on record in 2022 are so big that summarizing this “year in jazz" by selecting only ten albums feels akin to taking the photo of a breath-taking landscape with an ultra-low resolution camera... Ten years from now, how is one supposed to understand how ...
