Description: Kinara Sankofa brings to us his latest creation The Coldest Summer Ever cd, which is a mixture of jazz instruments, spoken word delivered over neo soul and Jazz Fusion, love poems and songs laced with R&B back drops (such as The Breeze)and The Coldest Summer Ever. In print, on disc and in person his melodic voice touches your soul, pulls at your heart strings and at the same time stimulates your mind. His ingenuity in combining Quiet Storm vocals and Spoken Word puts a new twist on what an artist can do with the passion of his art and heart. Just when we thought the old school sounds of the likes of Roy Ayers, Norman Connors and those who graced us with the true sounds of R&B, the Donnie Hathaway’s, Marvin Gayes who do we have today, I’ll tell you no wait… he’ll show you because he is the “vocally poetic”
