Product Description
The Liquid Crystal Project, which covers so-called "classics" sample sources from '90s hip-hop in a jazz band style without losing its rugged feel, has scaled up even further! Of the various works by J. Rowles, who operates multiple aliases/projects, the Liquid Crystal Project is the most "jazz-oriented"! In the previous work, J. Rowles showed not only a deep understanding of jazz but also a selection of hip-hop classics, such as Bobby Hutcherson's "Montara" ("A Tribute To Bobby"), and has now tightened the band's sound to enhance its expressiveness, packing the best of jazz and hip-hop into an easily listenable "reconstruction" as follows: ?Z A Tribute to Beatnuts: Buddy Baker's "Sign Song," which samples Beatnuts' "Off The Book" ?Z A Tribute to Beatminerz: Whatnots' "Why Can't People Be Colors," which samples Smifun Wesson's "Bucktown" "Too?" + Jack Bruce "Born to be blue" ?Z Capricone's Reprise: George Duke's "Capricone," which samples Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth's "In The House" In addition, the band expresses their digging sensibilities for original sources, while the bottom half is full of tracks that follow the hip-hop style! Unlike Guru/Jazzmataz, who strengthened their R&B + production elements, this mellow and smooth style is a killer for today's audience!!
