The Story
The Jahari Massamba Unit features Madlib on all instrumentation with the exception of drums, which are laid down by Karriem Riggins. Like Madlib, Riggins is well-versed in both the worlds of Jazz and Hip Hop. Musically, Madlibâs label says âwe would call the project Spiritual Jazz, but jazz great Phil Ranelin told us to call it Black Classical Music, so thatâs what weâre going with.â This is an album put together by students of jazz in its myriad and historic corms who are also proponents of jazzâs future. The resulting recording reflects a lifetime of record collecting, musical study, woodshedding, and a reverential respect for one anotherâs craft. Regardless of categorization this is an exciting an all new entry in Madlibâs Yesterdays New Quintet canon of difficult-to-categorize music.
