DESCRIPTION:
Sounds Coming To You From The Infinite Jazz Lounge. Neo-Soul Jazz coming from Baltimore's Own Fertile Ground.

Ten years ago a dynamic young music trio rose out of Baltimore and became one of the world's most successful independent acts in soul/jazz music. Founded by composer/producer/musician James Collins, his wife, Cleveland diva Navasha Daya, and the drummer Marcus Asante, Fertile Ground has become a staple of the independent soul circuit. Their first project, Field Songs, conjured up the smoke filled jazz clubs of a bygone era while maintaining roots in the acrid desert sands of Africa. The combustible combination of soothing instrumentation, Navasha's rich vocals and the Collins elegant compositions catapulted Fertile Ground into a global powerhouse. Their next six albums, all self-produced and -distributed have sold well over a quarter million units worldwide, including a remix project and a greatest hits compilation. With the Internet's liberating assistance and the development of their own distribution center, BlackOut Studios, the band has taken their spiritual messages of peace and love to fans from Sydney to Tokyo. - See more at: http://dev.soultracks.com/fertile_ground.htm#sthash.lo2QCpqW.dpuf
