Jazzmen Kamasi Washington and Robert Glasper, multi-instrumentalist and producer Terrace Martin and rap beatmaker Patrick Douthit a.k.a. 9th Wonder have joined forces for a supergroup called Dinner Party. This rather short self-titled debut album was recorded at the Chalice Studios in Los Angeles at the end of 2019. With Phoelix’s voice on four tracks, these big names (who have basically known each other since high school) have cooked up some soft, very chilled contemporary soul. There are also unpretentious hints of 90s nu soul, relying more on atmosphere than technical flamboyance. Over soft rhythms, cinematic keyboards, sensual brass and sparkling guitars, Phoelix’s velvety vocals spice up the songs with politically-charged lyrics. On Freeze Tag, for example, he directly confronts police brutality: “They told me to put my hands up behind my head… I think they got the wrong one, I’m sick and tired of runnin’.” Upon listening, this alloy of jazz, soul and solid hip-hop beats doesn’t feel entirely new, though its perfectly calibrated execution allows you to spend about twenty minutes in a musical bubble bath. A brilliant, groovy record wrapped in an album cover designed by Amani Washington, Kamasi’s sister. © Marc Zisman/Qobuz
