DJ 2-Tone Jones and Gerald Watson are proud to announce the latest musical installment of the SHAOLIN JAZZ project entitled The Gil Scott Suite, a tribute to the late Gil Scott Heron. This capsule project, which is a three track EP, also features album cover art designed by Shamona Stokes, the winner of the SHAOLIN JAZZ - Album Cover Design Contest.
By clicking on the album cover above, you can access a download the music. Below you will find a link to listen to one of the tracks. Dear readers, I highly recommend you do this. These three tracks are straight cold-blooded sonic goodness; my favorite being the second track, Gil’s Pinky Ring II. It features a fantastic Method Man cut that will get your killer bee buzzing.
Additionally, as a bonus, be sure to check out a video created by a producer, Tewodross Melchishua who developed a video for the SHAOLIN JAZZ track “Brew Out.”
Stay tuned to the space for more updates from the SHAOLIN JAZZ project. Happy listening!
