- There was magic brewing on the campus of Cal State Los Angeles ton February 22nd the kind that puts a love spell on everyone who walks into its path. Miguel Atwood-Ferguson and his 40-piece orchestra managed to set the entire Luckman Fine Arts Plaza afloat on Sunday night with Timeless: Suite for Ma Dukes, their gorgeous re-imagining of J Dillas best known works. Surprise guests filtered in throughout the night, including Common, Talib Kweli andPosdnuous from De la Soul. Dillas inspiring mother was a beacon throughout the performance, small in stature but mighty in spirit.
If you listen closely to the music, the possibilities are endless
Ma Dukes (February 22nd, 2009.)
The energy onstage was infectious, and the audience was just as emotionally invested in the performance as the musicians. One could feel the grand swoops and shimmering intricacies of the music just by the motion of Atwood-Fergusons hands. When Dwele came out to do Angel, he had to stand back in awe for several moments to take in the beauty of what he was about to sing over.
In true Dilla fashion, one classic begets another, and we got to see that progression take place right before our eyes.Diana Moreira led us through the bossa nova lilt of Stan Getz and Luiz Bonfas Saudade Vem Correndo,containing the famous hook Dilla sampled into the Pharcydes Runnin. Minutes later, the orchestra changed tempo and transformed the bossa nova mood into Dillas inspired jam with vocal contributions by Amp Fiddler, Bilal andShafiq Husayn of Sa-Ra. Bilal then sang Reminesce and brought the crowd to the verge of rapture.
The night rounded out when Posdnuous surprised everyone and did his verse of De la Souls Stakes is High, and then brought on Talib Kweli to do Doves verse. The chorus which included OhNo, Alchemist, Illa J, Frank Nitty, Rhettmatic, Ma Dukes, J Davey, Houseshoes sang out the refrainLove, Vibration - eventually turning the mic over to the audience to sing along. An encore of Slum Villages Fall in Love left everyone with the sweet high that only falling in love can bring about.
People will be talking about this majestic performance for years and blessed are the ones who were able to see it bloom firsthand. - เพลง

I LOVE THIS ALBUM SO MUCH. SUCH GREAT HOMAGE! I know J. Dilla would probably approve and be deeply flattered.
The drummers face at 2:20 he got his life son!!! LMAO!!!!
Dwayne Dawkins is that you? lol
DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPE!!!!!
this is so remarkeable! I can stop watching! Unbelievable music
Cannot describe how good this is... amazed. Had to cop the DVD.
THIS MA DUKES IS THE BOMB!
like sugar on your cereal, that first bite is oh so sweet!
EXCITEMENT! I know nothing about hip-hop, but I'm a jazz listener (and former amateur tenor man), and I like this piece by Miguel Atwood-Ferguson. The repeated phrases in the strings and the long crescendo remind me a lot of some minimalist music I've heard in symphony concert halls. Stay in there, Miguel!
How can you not like this?
Even the cameraman was feeling it .
OOOOOOHHHHHHH MMMMMMYYYYYYY DDDDDDAAAAAAMMMMMNNNNN!!! I nearly broke my neck bobbing to this. I surely looked like I was having a fit in here. No mo words....
Yeah!!!....Yeah!!!!....This is BADASS!!!!!!
Shit, everytime i just think about Dilla and all of these things I just wanna cry.. so sad that we had to lose the most amazing musician on earth.. Rest in Peace Dilla..
LIFE CHANGING
i am speechless. i have no speech!
OMFG- That was ILL beyond belief!!!!
In ahh...mochilla makes History with all they do!!
i come back to this video once a year, in tears everytime. RIP Dilla
Dat Build into the rhythm is SICK!!!
Dilla keep on shining!
good to know that theres still music wit class out there!
Speechless. Nothing to fucking say after that epic musical experience.
1:30...the drummer was feeling the pressure to come in flawlessly..then.... ahhhhhhhhhh
If you listen to the original Hoc N Pucky in its grimey state and see it turned into this, it is a testament to the talent and influence of Jay Dee. He is so very missed but as long as his influence continues to touch people beyond the gave, there is still hope. This interpretation is fucking beautiful, man... wow
THIS IS BUTTER!!!!
My copy of the DVD is on it's way!!!! I CAN'T WAIT!!!
These guys are crazy damn!!!!!!!! that's sooooooooo goooooood!!!!!!
RIP Dilla. Speechless
I swear if he an't the next Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock, Louis Armstrong etc. Idk who this kat is considered to be! This dude has mad skills and I just heard about him yesterday on the Clark Atlanta Jazz station 91.9 and looked em up and fell in love! I already love Dilla didn't know there were more genius's like him! :D
2:21 the drummers face like "R U MAAD"???? He was feeling it boyy!!!!! Hhaha!

Man...Miguel...PURE GENIUS!!! Shout out to all of the musicians, singers, organizers, & folks in attendance who made this happen! This was truly a TIMELESS moment in time! LOL Let's do it again sometime...Iron Mic
