Yesterdays New Quintet - Yesterdays Universe

Madlib displays even more virtuosity with his fifth release under the Yesterday's New Quintet moniker. This time around, the Beat Konducta expands his own universe of aliases and jazz-player personas to include the Young Jazz Rebels, the Jazzistics, and Suntouch, among many others. The key to YESTERDAY'S UNIVERSE is spotting the tastes and styles of each alter ego. For example, Jackson Conti has a penchant for Brazilian flavors, the Yesterday's Universe All-Stars go for all-out fusion jam sessions, while Suntouch delivers spaced-out journeys a la Sun Ra. Somewhere amid the schizophrenia, Lib covers Miles Davis's "Bitches Brew" and Donald Smith's "Slave Riot" and collaborates with drummers Karriem Riggins and Mamao of the famed Brazilian group, Azymuth.
