Yesterdays New Quintet - Sound Directions: The Funky Side of Life

Madlib is one of the most prolific producers of our day. With an inhuman amount of releases under his belt, under the many different aliases he uses, which somehow each manage to have a sound of it's own. Here we have Yesterdays New Quintet, which for a long time i thought was madeup of Madlib on beats, and other musicians on the actual instruments. But i came to find out that these other musicians (Otis Jackson Jr, Joe Johnson etc.), were actually fictional musicians that Madlib had thought up for this project. And what's even more insane is that he came out with Solo albums for all of the fictional musicians! So this record is entirely madlib, even though it sounds like a real live jazz quartet. It is very funky and danceable yet smart and hip.
