At this juncture in the early 21st century, jazz is undergoing one of its circular metamorphoses where it intersects with the popular music and production of the day. From the Robert Glasper Experiment and Kamasi Washington in the U.S. to Sarathy Korwar, Shabaka Hutchings, and Nubya Garcia in the U.K., global jazz, hip-hop, R&B, Afro-Cuban, and modern jazz embrace one another. Saxophonist and composer Marcus Strickland is a seasoned veteran who helped to pioneer this new rhythm and production aesthetic in jazz with 2006's double-length Twi-Life and 2016's brilliant, Meshell Ndegeocello-produced Nihil Novi, his debut for Blue Note.
