With a 60-year career that reaches back to his tenure with Bob Brady and the Conchords, keyboardist/composer Jim Samuel - who has played with Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles, The Beach Boys and the Who - has a unique perspective on many genres of music. His enduring appreciation for the influence of jazz legends on hip-hop (Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock, Quincy Jones, etc.) inspired him to create "Jazz - The Father of Hip Hop," a confident brass-firing and spirit-intoxicating fusion of both genres that features rapper Dgio detailing the colorful elements of the history, buoyed by a killer trademark sax solo compliments of the legendary Tom Scott!
