BlackNotes' debut CD, entitled "Miracle In Progress," represents BlackNotes' pioneering of a new musical form called SWARM (Spoken Word, African Rhythms, Melodies), which is intended to be both elevating and entertaining. The positive feedback from those who have listened to the CD has been tremendous, and this includes the young and not-so-young, the business professional, the "Afrocentric," and the folks "in the 'hood." "Miracle In Progress" features soulful singing, insightfully positive poetry & rap, funky basslines, spicy West African drumming, and jazzy horns, producing a dynamically unique sound and concept that many have fallen in love with.

"Miracle In Progress" (the CD) contains:

	The golden soulful voice of lead singer Ayanna Gregory and the beautiful harmonies of vocalists Yvette Benjamin (Nneke Chinyere) and Aisha Jackson;
	The spicy West African drum rhythms and percussion solos of Mahiri-Fadjimba Keita, Kweku Akoto, and Lasana
	The funky basslines of bass guitarist Kwesi Brown
	The jazzy melodies and soulful solos of saxophonist / flutist Kamau Lumumba;
	The bluesy harmonica and synchronous percussion work of Morton Brooks;
	The light-dancing chords and accents of keyboard player Pierre; and
	The creatively insightful poetic verses of Lasana, Jali-D, Joy Jones, Nkechi Taifa and Brother Yao.

The CD title, "Miracle In Progress," not only refers to the theme of the title track--childbirth / the Black family--but also refers to the fact that, given our phenomenally challenging history in America, African-Americans are a miracle in progress.

BlackNotes is a miracle in progress! Check out the CD, and you'll agree.
