The Beast and Nnenna Freelon - Freedom Suite
Echoing the style of Guru’s Jazzmatazz, jazz vocalist and multi Grammy
nominee Nnenna Freelon join hip-hop quartet The Beast to release Freedom
Suite, a 10-track collection of creative reflections on jazz and hip-hop
hosted by 9th Wonder.
Drawing from a traditional jazz canon as well as hip-hop “standards” from
the recent past, the album brings a live jazz sound to some of the most loved
tracks in popular music. The album features six original songs written and
produced by The Beast and also re-makings of modern classics such as Mos Def’
s “Umi Says,” Johnny Mercer & Hoagey Carmichael’s “Skylark,” and Lauryn
Hill’s “Doo Wop.” The project has guest appearances from Branford
Marsalis, Phonte (of The Foreign Exhchange/Little Brother), YahZarah and
Geechi Suede (of Camp Lo).
Recognizing the importance of talking about the convergence of jazz and
hip-hop and its role in forward-thinking culture, the album also features
conversations among some of hip-hop and jazz’s greatest intellectual minds
including ?uestlove, Herbie Hancock, Amiri Baraka, Branford Marsalis, Angela
Davis and more.
We are thrilled to present this project as an exclusive free album download
for readers of The Revivalist.
