Bilal - Levels

03.07.2011

Live at Miles Davis Hall

 

 

Bilal is an American neo soul/jazz singer-songwriter and musician. Acquainted with The Roots, Q Tip, Erykah Badu and Mos Def, Bilal's career launched in 2001 in releasing his debut album 1st Born Second. The album displays a wide range of diverse musicality and featured contributions from the Soulquarians as well as high profile producers such as Dr. Dre. His third album Airtight's Revenge was released in September 2010. The music is more progressive though it still has its roots firmly placed in the jazz traditions that originally inspired Bilal's music. (FFJM © 2011)
