2992811, Abstract Orchestra - Dilla The LP
Posted by High Society, Tue Jul-04-17 12:56 AM
Dilla" by Abstract Orchestra is a tribute to the work of the highly acclaimed and influential producer.
Opener"Welcome to Detroit/The Diary"takes the the vocal sample from Isaac Hayes's "Man's Temptation" and places it against lush brass and driving beats.
While"Workinonit" transplants the original 10cc guitar samples from the Dilla original onto biting trumpets and aggressive saxes, underpinned as always by Joost and Hendrickx's on point drumming.
On"Stop"vocalist Anna Uhuru handles the Dionne Warwick vocal with assurance while the band lay down an arrangement that is reminiscent of the work of David Axelrod and Don Sebeskey, both big sources of inspiration for Abstract Orchestra.
