Notes

‘Malibu.’ Yussef Dayes is a British jazz drummer known for exploring polyrhythms far outside the American-jazz frame of reference—here, with a second percussionist in the mix. A lot of that exploration has been in South London, where he’s from, collaborating with artists in the area’s drill-rap scene.

What’s drill rap—and what happens when you mix it with American jazz?
