Shaolin Jazz – “Byrd Over Staten” (Music)

0

In 2011 the creators of SHAOLIN JAZZ released a 3-song EP entitled The Gil Scott Suite, a tribute to the late Gil Scott Heron.

Now they are pleased to announce the next edition to the SHAOLIN JAZZ tribute series, BYRD OVER STATON; an EP dedicated to the works of the late iconic Jazz musician and teacher, Donald Byrd.

As with all previous releases, BYRD OVER STATEN is a conceptual project in which select songs and breaks from Donald Byrd’s vast collection of music are fused with lyrics and sound bites from the legendary Hip Hop group Wu-Tang Clan.

The track is an uptempo groove taken from Byrd’s Black Byrd_ album, and features verses of fast-paced bravado delivered by Ghostface Killah and Busta Rhymes.

The full-length EP is scheduled to be released in mid-October, in conjunction with a series of listening parties in DC, NY, and a few other markets.
