"Madlib and Karriem Riggins are the Jahari Masamba Unit"
Reposting from The Lesson...
Madlib and Egon’s Rappcats label dropped this news in my inbox today! I remember when they partnered up as the Supreme Team. This new joint, “Pardon My French” is dropping on Black Friday.
This is one of 2020’s best musical surprises.
https://www.rappcats.com/shop/pardon-my-french/ DESCRIPTION (from website) Drums: Karriem Riggins. Instruments: Madlib. We would have called it Spiritual Jazz but Phil Ranelin told us to call it Black Classical Music.
STANDARD LP: Coming Record Store Day (Black Friday) November 27. Cover by Jeff Jank. RAPPCATS EDITION: Limited to 500 copies. Silk screened art by Jason Jagel, printed by Monolith Printers in San Francisco on chipboard jacket. (Ships mid-November.)
We are proud to announce the long-awaited debut album from Jahari Masamba Unit, Pardon My French. Among all of the projects Madlib presented as part of his Jazz Universe, this collaboration was of particular note to fans, who continued to wonder for years if anything else might come from the collaboration. This album, put together by students of jazz in its myriad and historic corms, and also proponents of jazz’s future, reflects a lifetime of record collecting, musical study, woodshopping, and a reverential respect for one another’s craft.
