The Sounds of SHAOLIN JAZZ

Soul-Hop

Shaolin Jazz

April 11, 2021 marks the 10 year anniversary of SHAOLIN JAZZ and the debut of our 1st mixtape project, The 37th Chamber. To commemorate this decade of dopeness we're adding a special installment to our tribute mixtape series called SENSEI Q; in honor of the legendary music mogul Quincy Jones. The 5-track EP features cinematic samples and breaks from the immensely underrated and accomplished catalog of film scores and movie soundtracks produced and composed by Jones. And in true SHAOLIN JAZZ fashion, each track is laced with the lyrical prowess of the iconic rap group Wu-Tang Clan. There’s also guest appearances by the late great Notorious B.I.G. and Wu-Tang affiliate Shabazz the Disciple.

Amerigo Gazaway’s *Soul Mates* series continues the theme of his previous work in creating collaborations that never were. On the series’ latest installment, Amerigo unites Brooklyn rapper Yasiin Bey (Mos Def) and soul legend Marvin Gaye for a dream collaboration aptly titled “Yasiin Gaye”. Building the album's foundation from deconstructed samples of Gaye’s Motown classics, Gazaway re-purposes the instrumentation into new productions within a similar framework. Carefully weaving Bey’s tangled raps and Gaye’s soulful vocals over his new arrangements, the producer delivers a quality much closer to an authentic collaboration than a lukewarm "mashup" album.

Pharcyde + Dilla get the treatment on AT 011. More of a remix than a rework this time around. We upped the tempo, added drums, and more Samba flavor. An Ode To the Classics / Reworked for the Dance Floor.

Pharcyde - Runnin' (Altered Tapes Remix)

It's been 10 years since Ol' Dirty Bastard passed on, so in tribute, I decided to do a remix in his honor. Dirty celebrated life, and I wanted to capture his essence, so Instead of making the track dark and "Wu-ey," I went for a fun disco vibe. Rest In Peace brother Russell.

Special Blends w/ Maleekaveli - October 2020

The first sample from the forthcoming Shaolin Jazz: The 37th Chamber mixed by DJ 2-Tone Jones.  The concept for the project was originally developed by Gerald Watson who got the idea from an interview with graphic designer Logan Walters; the creator of a series of jazz-inspired Wu-Tang album covers dubbed, Wu-Note.  Mr. Walters liked the conecpt for the actual mix so much that he agreed to create the design cover art for the project.

This track features Raekwon, Inspectah Deck and Method Man over a blend between Pharaoh Sanders' "Astral Traveling" and Jneiro Jarel's "Pharaoh's Dream".
