Wyclef Jean - Q Theory- Quantum Leap Vol. 2 Wyclef Jean
Vinyl LP
Inspired by the late, great Quincy Jones, Rocinha opens the album, Q Theory - This represents the initial opening movement and catalyst in the inception of "Rara Jazz"
As a fearless fusion of jazz, Caribbean, Brazilian, African, and American sounds, the track draws profound inspiration from the spirit of Brazil's iconic favela, Rocinha, the harmonic depth of John Coltrane, and the improvisational genius of Herbie Hancock.
The composition features a rich instrumental tapestry, with Wyclef Jean on guitars, Fender Rhodes, bass, synthesizers, and drum programming. Complementing this vision are Robert Glasper on piano, Patrick Pelissier on keyboards and Fender Rhodes, Emmanuel Laine on drums, Emanuel Najee on bass, and Godwin Louis on saxophone, with vocal textures provided by Kayla Carpenter, Kyle Carpenter, and Lynette Rhett.
Welcome to Rara Jazz.
