Jaimeo Brown Transcendence

Jaimeo Brown Transcendence is the project of New York-based drummer/composer Jaimeo Brown and guitarist/producer Chris Sholar. The concept of their collaboration blends early recordings of blues, jazz, and folk songs with live hip-hop, jazz, and electronic elements. The duo first began this approach on the 2013 album Transcendence, which was credited to Brown, but launched their unique collaboration by using African-American spirituals, East Indian music, and other rare samples within a newly formed context. Brown and Sholar returned in early 2016 with their first proper release under the Jaimeo Brown Transcendence banner. Work Songs, released on the <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Mot%C3%A9ma%22">Motéma</a> label, continued to sample and reassemble rare recordings and also featured contributions from saxophonists <a href="spotify:artist:6z1JfePZKsClonbknZiSKv">Jaleel Shaw</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:5ACouApJyhZpZ3Eu2DtrlM">J.D. Allen</a>, soul singer <a href="spotify:artist:3ubmT4pVNb3G9uyop1BAk3">Lester Chambers</a>, and more. ~ Timothy Monger, Rovi
