I haven't but I like Steve Lehman a lot so I will definitely give it a go. Thanks for the recommendation. No objection to hip hop / rap at all on my side. I think I just don't normally like jazz where the musicians are being required to solo over tight break beats. Quote
Д.Д. Posted March 27, 2021 Report Posted March 27, 2021 Oh, remembered another hip-hop album I liked - Flying Lotus "You're Dead". It's not jazz, just has some jazz elements. Quote
mjazzg Posted March 27, 2021 Report Posted March 27, 2021 (edited) That Lehman is fine. I thought some of Steve Coleman's attempts to marry the genres worked. Then from the other perspective the use of Jazz elements by the likes of Gang Starr, ATCQ, Digable Planets, Common all worked well for me at the time, during my only real flirtation with hip hop.
