Carlos Nino & Miguel Atwood-Ferguson have chosen to pay
tribute to J Dilla by interpreting his music in a contemporary
chamber music style...
LA musicians and virtual production powerhouse Carlos Nino and
Miguel Atwood-Ferguson have been working together on a wide
variety of projects for several years. After their friend J-
Dilla's untimely death, Nino and Atwood-Ferguson chose to pay
tribute by continuing the musical conversation that they had
started with him when collaborating on Dwight Trible & Life
force Trio's "Love Is The Answer" LP in 2004, but in the
contemporary chamber music style that Atwood-Ferguson had been
developing. On what would have been Dilla's 33rd birthday,
they sent their strings, brass and reeds-only version of
Common's "Nag Champa (Afrodisiac For The World)" to DJs and
producers for free via the internet and it caused a big stir
among fans and first time listeners alike. Hip hop had never
been given the chamber music treatment before and never in
such a reverential and rhythmic way. "Suite For Ma Dukes" is
the first official release of this music and is hip hop as you
have never heard it before. All four lengthy tracks cover
James Yancey's magic, giving treatment to Jay Dee classics
from Common, A Tribe Called Quest, and Slum Village. In each,
the harmonic and melodic beauty of Dilla's music is liberated.
Earlier this year, the project received the official blessing
from Ma Dukes herself and part of the proceeds from the record
will go to Yancey's heirs
Enjoy and if you like it BUY it!
