For decades, jazz + anything = watery twaddle. But lately we're getting somewhere: the brainfeeder crew brewing up winedark jazz / hip hop soup, Donnie Trumpet spiking sunny asides into Chance's raps, Kneebody and Daedelus disappearing into eachother...
Add Diggs to the list of dudes making it work - horns and floaty organs work their way through spoken word, R&B, and electronic-etc to make something uncanny, funky, and cool - like the cover art's cubism. You're never really sure where its headed while it slips out from under you, glitches, layered ooos, beerlight sax wanderers, spinning something hypnotically wooly and downright pleasant, flashes of day in night 4/5
