Next month, the Seattle jazz drummer and bandleader Kassa Overall will release a new album called CREAM. It’s a cool idea for an album: A collection of instrumental jazz versions of rap classics. Since so many of those rap classics are built on soul and jazz loops and ideas, there’s an appealing circularity to that kind of thing. On CREAM, Kassa Overall and his bandmates take on tracks from people like a Tribe Called Quest, Outkast, and Juvenile. We’ve already posted the Overall version of Digable Planets’ “Rebirth Of Slick (Cool Like Dat),” and now they’ve also shared the record’s title track.
