PREMIK RUSSELL TUBBS & MARGEE MINIER-TUBBS, Oneness-World

Oneness-World, an extraordinarily hopeful and powerfully inspirational masterwork from the expansive, ever-evolving imaginations of visionary creative team and husband and wife duo Premik Russell Tubbs and Margee Minier-Tubbs, is driven by a sense of celebration about the interconnectedness of human hearts.

A fascinating, richly textured 47-minute sonic journey, the album artfully and soulfully fuses elements of world music, jazz fusion, Indian and Celtic influences, dashes of blues and, thanks to Margee’s keen insight and eloquent poetic expressions, powerful spoken word messages. Progressing over the course of seven distinct pieces, sometimes the narrative about our shared humanity unfolds with musical excitement and invention, other times with mystical, uplifting spoken word passages and compelling beautiful sung vocals.

The duo’s vision is expertly and dynamically executed by their hand-selected ensemble of storied musical stalwarts. As Premik says, “This album provides a harmonious balance of deep instrumental explorations, along with singing and spoken word all in one beautiful package and thus is an even more powerful expression of our Oneness and belonging.” While Premik (producer, composer, saxophones, flutes, EWI) and Margee (artistic director, composer, lyricist, spoken word vocals) guiding the fascinating sonic adventure, the duo’s vision is fulfilled with the grandeur-filled contributions of multi-Grammy winning violinist Zach Brock, Emmy nominated pianist Steve Sandberg and others.
