Afrodeezia marks the Blue Note debut for Grammy-winning bassist and composer Marcus Miller, a veteran session musician with over 500 credits to his name. The Grammy nominated album, inspired by Miller’s role as a UNESCO Artist For Peace and spokesperson for the organization’s Slave Route Project, was recorded in locations around the world including Morocco, Paris, Rio de Janeiro, New Orleans and Los Angeles. A wide range of guests joins Miller here: rapper Chuck D., vocalist Lalah Hathaway, guitarists Keb’ Mo’ and Wah Wah Watson as well as musicians from Africa, South America and the Caribbean. "The power of music has no limits. Through spirituals, jazz and soul we were able to preserve our history, because all the rest had been erased. What I wanted most was to go back to the source of the rhythms that make our musical heritage so rich, to follow them like footprints from their beginnings in Africa all the way to the United States. That journey took us from Mali to Paris, from New Orleans to Sao Paulo and across the Caribbean." - Marcus Miller

What is High-Resolution Audio?

High-resolution audio offers the highest-fidelity available, far surpassing the sound quality of traditional CDs. When you listen to music on a CD or tracks purchased via consumer services such as iTunes, you are hearing a low-resolution version of what was actually recorded and mastered in the studio. ProStudioMasters offers the original studio masters — exactly as the artist, producers and sound engineers mastered them — for download, directly to you.

What do I need for playback?

You may need additional software / hardware to take full advantage of the higher 24-bit high-res audio formats, but any music lover that has heard 16-bit vs 24-bit will tell you it's worth it!
