    It's past 3am and I was suffering through a anxiety attack as I was trying to study my Indonesian course on Duolingo. My attack lurched my progress and stole my focus away from me, I tried every kind of music I had in arsenal; from dark ambience to 90s hip hop beats alongside some breathing techinques I searched up but that combination turned out to be futile on my part. It wasn't until I remembered I that I saved this video, so I clicked back and relaxed. I'm feeling great right now! I've always loved Jazz but I haven't utilized it's use in a decompressing setting in a long time. I'm feeling like my self again, all much thanks to Yussef Kamaal's unique demonstration of beautiful Jazz music! Cheers y'all!

    I rarely comment on TH-cam, but I have to. To me this is mature, classy, and intriguing. Also fun. Sparks alot of feelings/moods when I hear it, actually. Skills upon skills here. Tasteful and a bit on the experimental side. The bass work is awesome so are the drums. Jazz, HipHop, Jungle-ish. One could "chill" to it, but when I hear it I am too busy listening. I have heard several albums that dance around this idea, but none compare imho. Great Stuff!

    Splendid. Never heard of this. Clicked expecting late 60s/early 70s. Wholly cheering to discover it was produced in C21st London. Will now purchase. More please!

    I’m full of emotions when it comes to this album, mostly sad because it took me till 2021 to hear about this collective group of musical all-stars.

    This one really helped me out. For a long time I wasn't hearing any quality in new material besides the obscure; this album kept be grounded, and made me see that there really are plenty of good musicians out there arranging great material. Cheers.

    Hey listeners.Try 'Sly' off Herbie Hancock's 1973 LP Headhunters for an historical reference point.I've purchased this Yussef Kamaal CD and I really dig it, but don't forget to familiarize yourselves with the pioneers of jazz/fusion so you can hear the influences on these young guys.
