Tonight I'm going to see an orchestra perform A Suite For Ma Dukes (J Dilla's music) EP at the Luckman Fine Arts Complex here in LA. Check out this one song I've heard from the performers. http://www.okayplayer.com/news/Suite-For-Ma-Dukes-Fall-In-Love-.html You can read the little article too.
Haha, never saw that reply until now. The show was amazing, I think I'm going to go to the next two of the series. The music was great, and some special guests like Common, Talib Kweli, and someone else (forgot who it was) to come out and talk/perform with some of the beats that the orchestra was playing. They performed a lot of the original songs where Dilla got some of his samples, good stuff.
Damn man. What I'd give to go to those things. I'll just have to cop the EP, blare it, and pretend...
