Nabaté Isles – En Motion (CD)
Product Details
Nabaté Isles built his reputation through decades of work alongside some of jazz's most demanding bandleaders, and that deep ensemble vocabulary shows here. Rooting the album in jazz's pre-bebop function as music made for bodies in motion, not just ears, Isles draws a direct line from New Orleans second-line tradition to hip-hop's rhythmic insistence, a connection that feels earned rather than stylistic.
Grammy-winning Trumpeter, Composer, and Producer Nabate Isles follows up his acclaimed 2018 release Eclectic Excursions with his second album - en Motion. Referencing the origins of Jazz as dance music, Isles seeks to bring that bounce that brings joy and movement back to the forefront. The lineup is, of course, stellar. Added featured performers are Badia Farha, MuMu Fresh, Kardinal Offishall and the iconic Chuck D.
