Los Angeles keyboardist Jamael Dean convenes a quintet of longtime collaborators to navigate his shapeshifting original compositions and fresh takes on jazz standards. Part of a renaissance of next-generation Southern California jazz artists, Dean has collaborated with Kamasi Washington, Thundercat, Miguel Atwood-Ferguson and Carlos Niño, and has performed as a member of the legendary Pan Afrikan Peoples Arkestra. Pitchfork writes that Dean takes “a wide-eyed view of jazz… to imbibe hip-hop, electronic, R&B, and ambient.”
