Jimmy Abney
Return To Forever
(Yoruba
Records) 2008
Born in Grand Rapids, Michigan, the city where soul and gospel hails supreme, multi-instrumentalist Jimmy
Abney delivers a complete expression of the word, soul. This album was entirely composed and arranged
by Abney. Combining elements of classic soul and rhythm and blues as well as more traditional African American music aesthetics,
Return To Forever is about the heart, romance and vulnerability. The colors and melodies of this album are so engaged
that it is easy to simply get caught up in its intimacy. In times where love has lost its vulnerability and its true beauty,
Jimmy, asks for permission to submit, and reason to share the most intimate of human interaction. This album offers the lost
tradition of Soul & R&B aesthetics with an array of selections that brings you full circle, expressing his talents
and deepest sentiment on this journey of emotions.
