An intricately beautiful and mesmeric fusion of polyrhythm and melody by the Paris-born, Chicago-based percussionist and composer, bringing together cosmic jazz, hip-hop breakbeats, funk, classical and African influences on this sublime fourth album, released back in September. There are particularly lovely contributions by Brandee Younger on harp (especially on Lullaby) and De’Sean Jones on flute, but the entire album is filled with just the right balance of complexity and simplicity by a brilliant ensemble of musicians. Standouts include the title track, Dream Another, The Fours, So Ubuji, and Seventh String. Out on International Anthem/ XL Recordings.
