M.I.A.'s "Galang" Gets Jazzed Up

Posted by on Wed, Nov 18, 2009 at 1:03 PM

Vijay Iyer Trio cover M.I.A.'s "Galang" on their new album, Historicity. The multiculti club banger makes the transition to the conservatory with surprising, tensile grace.

Quite nice. Thanks.
The current generation of jazz musicians who came of age during the glory days of hip hip are doing some extremely interesting stuff. I can never get enough of the Matthew Shipp/Antipop collaboration, and check out pretty much anything by Guillermo Brown when you have the opportunity. All weird and great.

Agreed: Guillermo E. Brown is awesome.
