Giant Beauty
by أحمد [Ahmed]

compositions by ahmed abdul-malik, re-imagined and arranged by [ahmed]

I’m on the second disc right now.

Edit to add: I may not go any further with this set and put it up for sale. Repetitive short phrasing for an hour or so seems to be the modus operandi. Not very enjoyable, though very well-recorded.

DJ Premier classic. Some of the best jazz sampling in hip hop.

Oh man, Gerbal on drums here is awesome.

Yes, his work is pretty cool. Overall I didn't really enjoy the two discs I have heard.

I bought it (Steve Swell and Fire Into Music, For Jemeel, Fire From the Road) with really high expectations. It's not bad, but somewhat underperformed those expectations.

Jazz Crusaders - Pacific Jazz Quintet Studio Sessions, disc 5 [Mosaic]

Sound on this is great and the music so good. A set I should play more often.

A cool morning to cherish and this disc is pulling me into the music. The system is sounding so good!
