Dis Is Da Drum, the complete album is still only accessible on CD or Cassette, even now there's no vinyl version out there. So this single, featuring 3 tracks from the album, and A2 Call It 95' (flip hop mix) which is a groovy remix of the original, even funkier beats.....Is all we've got on vinyl of what might be one of Herbie's most captivating releases from his later years, this is an amazing trip-hop, hip-hop LP that seems to be in the same lane, or at least a precursor to Madlib's "Yesterday's New Quintet" releases. Like Miles with Doo-Bop in 1992, Herbie was staying current, and doing phenomenal work with it. This is definitely not a cliché or a mere commercial effort to stay relevant, Herbie had nothing left to prove, the PHD Dr. had already established a legacy on par with Miles, Blakey, or Coltrane. This is Herbie doing his thing with such brilliance, and that is exploring the terrain, and adding his unique touch to it, with art & finesse. Unfortunately for vinyl enthusiasts, no full-length LP was released for "Dis Is Da Drum", so all we have is this promo 12", but it's incredible, 3 album tracks, and such a dope take on the remix that it feels like a 4 track EP. I couldn't recommend this more to fans of trip hop, madlib, Herbie, or jazz. This is jazz evolving, and Wynton Marsalis along with the Neo-Bop crew helped stall it, it was the upper-middle class white critics who wanted Kind of Blue endlessly that were the real culprits. Time has shown, that once this set of critics who knew nothing of the culture whose music they had outsized control in shaping opinion, and contours grew old and went, it was revealed jazz was simply in cryostasis, frozen, but not dead. This is a vinyl artifact, showcasing resistance during the cryostasis despite the fact, and the music is just incredible, so check it out while you can, how many promo 12" were pressed up probably doesn't go beyond 1000 tops!

I couldn't recommend this more to fans of trip hop, madlib, Herbie, or jazz. This is jazz evolving, and Wynton Marsalis along with the Neo-Bop crew helped kill it, it was the upper-middle class white reviewers who wanted Kind of Blue ad infinitum that were the real destroyers.
