Hip-Hop/Soul/R&B

Kassa Overall Trio

When: Tue., Oct. 2, 8:30 p.m. 2018

Lately, jazz and hip-hop fusion has been championed by Kamasi Washington, but the hybrid genre can be traced back to Digable Planets, Miles Davis’ 1992 album Doo-Bop and Ken Nordine’s 1950s experiments with word jazz. NYC-based drummer, DJ and vocalist Kassa Overall brings artsy Afrofuturism, indie rock muscle and John Coltrane’s spiritual quest to the genre-blending party, catapulting rap-jazz to the next level. Overall is among a handful of artists who can credibly be called the future of jazz.
