Suite for Ma Dukes: my current musical obsession. This is a concert where a composer took the cool, jazzy arrangements of J Dilla (the producer of A Tribe Called Quest; or maybe that doesn’t help at all either) and blew them up to orchestral proportions. Not to mention that this guy is pretty good on his own and is kind of crazy, like treating samples as another instrument to a big band or symphony to achieve timbres and tones that would be impossible (or very difficult) to produce naturally.
This guy is so awesome. And really I feel like this is a weak example. It’s just the song I’m most familiar with.
