about

The Cool is inspired by Miles Davis, Gil Evans and co.’s The Birth of the Cool; a collaborative project of a similar nature that gave rise to the “cool jazz” movement of the 1950s and 60s. Just as Davis and co.’s sound brought a seemingly watered-down “bop” era back to its jazz roots, The Cool aims to bring jazz hip-hop back to its American boom-bap roots and provide a sound-scape enjoyable for listeners in Japan and across the world. Without further ado, Marcus D & AbsolutZero proudly present to you, volume one of The Cool.

The most authentic to the originals as there gets when it comes to Marcus D. Both Retrod 1&2 are must buys. I instantly had to get the dangerous to go alone set for this album. Just buy and enjoy. Also gotta blast Trees with Faces on the regular with the windows rolled down so everyone can hear "HERE WE GO" Firehead
