Popping Kerns by The Jazzual Suspects
“Popping Kerns”
The third single from the debut album from The Jazzual Suspects due out this September on San Francisco’s OM Records!
As previously noted, the Suspects have featured heavily on Mark Farina’s legendary Mushroom Jazz series. The full length offering has been much anticipated. This, their latest single, delves deep back into the jazz sensibilities that they are so well known for.
A dope combination of a classic be-bop era chord sequence, spaced out horn comps, sinister but lush string swells, pushed along by a break you wish you found on the flip side of an unknown release discovered on your best crate digging day ever!
The Jazzual Suspects is a labor of love of musician/producer Charlie Tate, a man responsible for well-known Om-Records stalwarts King Kooba and Colossus. With TJS, the love of the old school golden era of funky breaks, jazz and soul influenced hip-hop is obvious.
