In the UK there’s a big contemporary jazz scene. Acts like Ezra Collective, Yussef Dayes, Kamaal Williams, Tom Misch, Mansur Brown. You can see how influence hip-hop (and especially UK grime and garage) has had on their music. Their music isn’t exactly jazz rap or neo-soul or a subgenre that goes under hip-hop, it is modern day jazz, just taking in influences of other music around today (which a lot of classical jazz artists did in the 60s - it’s just hip-hop wasn’t around for them to embrace). I definitely recommend them to jazz fans and rap fans

One person you barely mentioned you really should do an interview with and that's Terrace Martin. Terrace has both feet firmly planted in Jazz and Hiphop world as a multi instrumentalist and producer. At 17 Terrace was already on Snoop's band touring all over being mentored by Snoop. Most recent Terrace is touring with Herbie Hancock's band. Listened to interview with Terrace he was saying big difference with HipHop and Jazz is the Jazz tradition is players mentoring young players. But in HipHop world everyone acts what they do is secret with a few exceptions. Terrace said he was lucky that Snoop mentored him and really taught him the music and the business. Terrace would be a great interview.

Beautiful! I was SO excited to learn more about this. My own experiences with hip-hop are probably best described as "sporadic" but I vividly remember learning to break-dance haha! I was like 6 years old, but we lived in NYC for a while, and my mother was thoroughly put out by my insistence on finding anybody at all who would let me listen to their music and let me dance. I guess even then I was that kind of music lover, I just wanted to enjoy all of it, no matter what anyone else said. I didn't know the names of the groups or really anything concrete; it wasn't until much much later that I started learning enough to understand that I'd been on the edges of little improvisational moments right on the streets - freestyling rappers, as well as dancers, and folks just having a good time. Later on when there were some movies made in regards to break dancing (I know, they're not necessarily good representation) I was very enthusiastic about them because I had encountered the "real thing" - and if movies like "Breakin" did not do a good job representing the genre OR the culture, they did at least capture the energy. My experiences with jazz came FAR later and I actually had a hard time connecting to vocal jazz for the longest time. I think I could go back now and listen again to some of those jazz-poetry works with "new ears" as it were, and get a great deal more out of the experience. Back in my twenties I was simply mystified, unable to quite catch on to the ideas they were presenting. But coming at it now, with some of this information... maybe I'd be better equipped. Once more y'all knock it out of the park, though. And coming at the end of a day of struggle, this was so, so very welcome. Y'all repaired my smile today
