Album Notes & Community Reviews

'3-D Lifestyles' is a bold experiment from the M-Base collective saxophonist, merging complex live jazz improvisation directly with East Coast boom bap production. The Blue Note release stands as an early, ambitious attempt to organically bridge the gap between contemporary hip-hop rhythms and avant-garde post-bop sensibilities.
