Album Notes & Community Reviews

Producer and composer David Axelrod constructs a dense, heavily orchestrated jazz-funk exploration on 'Strange Ladies'. The tracks are built on tight, breakbeat-heavy rhythms layered with his signature sweeping strings and dramatic horn charts. It has since become a highly sought-after release among hip-hop producers for its atmospheric, cinematic grooves.
