DESCRIPTION

For the seventh in the Madlib Medicine Show series, Madlib as Yesterdays New Quintet presents "High Jazz." Madlib's been busy this year. And while his recorded output always spans the gamut, he often returns to home base -- or bases, as it were. Jazz is one such base. This year, he's already released two albums from "spin off bands" that he introduced on the 2007 Yesterdays New Quintet "Yesterdays Universe" album. And, with High Jazz, Madlib begins anew -- offering familiar jazz sounds from a series of "new" groups from his ever-augmenting cosmos. Call it "Yesterdays Galaxy." High Jazz, the name itself a tribute to the landmark jazz-fusion album released by Stanton Davis's Ghetto Mysticism in 1976, shows a marked development in Madlib's craft. Every element of jazz is there. Is that tune modal-funk? Was that song psych-fusion? Was that a bossa-tinged run or another kind of latin-affair? Where did that sitar come from? Madlib's Yesterdays-excursions are never easy to categorize and that's the point -- while experiencing chops like these, the desire to rigidly define takes a back seat to aural pleasure.
