Life's Angles

Yesterday's New Quintet : Angles Without Edges

I have a hard time listening to jazz since I don't know what to listen for. I can tell if I like something but I can't particularly tell if the artist is playing good. I can hear fast notes and weird timing (sort of) but nothing beyond that. This, I can tell though, is really cool due to it's creation.adob reader 7 downlood

As far as I know, Madlib created this album by taking all jazz samples and just rearranging them himself to make his own jazz songs. I don't know if used any keyboards at all but I don't think so. This is all sampler (MPC, I think). That gives it a very cool sound when you know how it was put together.adob reader 7 downlood

The song is part bboy part jazz and it's all great. The drums are a really cool break (classic hip hop styling) and there are some great piano and guitar samples. I think he's taken a couple of piano notes and guitar sounds and played them out himself on the sampler which is easy to do but tough to make sound good. I've tried it myself and while I liked the end result the process was stupid. I would just end up piling on the notes until you couldn't tell what was being played. Madlib has done a great job.adob reader 7 downlood

If you like jazz and hip hop and you appreciate raw technical talent then you will enjoy this very much.adob reader 7 downlood
