Georgia Anne Muldrow: “The Black Mother”
[audio:https://alarm-magazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Georgia_Anne_Muldrow_The_Black_Mother.mp3|titles=Georgia Anne Muldrow: “The Black Mother”]

The daughter of progressive-jazz parents, Georgia Anne Muldrow has attained acclaim — from critics, musicians, and listeners alike — for her loose, soulful vocals atop her own funky, jazzy creations. Drawing as much on spacey synths and hip-hop beats as jazz melodies, Ocotea keeps a steady pulse and groove as Muldrow utilizes a diverse sonic palette. It’s a far-out journey that has shown the young songstress in a new and compelling light.
