Bilal makes headlines, whether he's performing a fiery (and most hilarious) https://vimeo.com/180467815">tribute to Prince at the BET Awards, or making a cameo on Common's Black America Againtour. But forget all of the stage fireworks and politics for a moment. What makes this singer so great is his range — not just vocally, but also with his uncategorical Soulquarian goodness. He dirties up our definitions of sound, melding jazz, rock, soul, and R&B. This program features our own unique recording of Bilal with Igmar Thomas' Revive Big Band, as well as a recent collaboration with the LA-based producer Adrian Younge, In Another Life (2015).
