From New Orleans, the cradle of jazz, trumpet player Christian Scott Atunde Adjuah, born Christian Scott in 1983. He is perhaps one of the most ambitious jazz musicians of the moment with conceptual ideas in which he says, for example, not to copy jazz traditions, but to reach out to this time. Ancestral Recall is a serious testimony to this. In addition to his thin trumpet playing, Scott himself
… programmed thick electronic tapestries of sound that mix with African rhythms and together produce a kind of Afro-Futurism of the 21st century. With his dark-sensual voice, Saul Williams also makes his mark on a number of songs. On the case, Scott had himself portrayed as a character from the Marvel movie Black Panther. Just like in his music, humor or self-perspective seem strange to him. (MR)more
