Black Classical Music (CD)
Yussef Dayes
Amoeba Review
Some albums deserve the buzz around them. Case in point: the debut solo album from Yussef Dayes, Black Classical Music. The title refers to jazz and the album is a treasure trove of sparkling jazz gems, downbeat funk, woozy moodpieces, and languid reggae rhythms. It's atmospheric. It's feel-good. It's just straight up excellent. If your interest in Dayes was piqued by his work with United Vibrations, Kamaal Williams, Kali Uchis, and Kehlani, then you'll be happy to hear this album completely delivers.
