Bilal Returns


This is Terrill Wyche for OpenAir. I've been away a long while, and I'm glad to be home. I was surfing the depths of the Internet and the waves therein, and I get a call on the cellphone. It's Bilal. Yes, Bilal Mutawassim, author of AstroCanvases and one of our subject from our flagship anthology OpenAir. He told me that he was googling, searched his name and found his interview. This prompted a call and this he told me. Pardon the Joni Mitchell reference. On July 25th, 2008, Bilal, under the alias Detroit Bleu releases his latest album entitled Gypsy Brew.



It's a special blend of reggae, acid jazz, and techno music featuring himself on trumpet, percussion, and keyboards. You can listen to the MP3s of the tracks in care of Amazon.com. While you can listen to the tracks, you cannot download them because the album has not yet been released. Here's the link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001C3E7WG/ref=dm_sp_adp?ie=UTF8&qid=1215306229&sr=8-12. On July 25, 2008, pick up a copy.
