The Music
JazzHopRevolution is an cutting edge ensemble that brings together jazz
bassist/composer John Lindberg with hip-hop lyricist/vocalist Rahman Jamaal and
percussionist Tani Tabbal in the groundbreaking recording "Tha Sound of Truth".
The cross-genre, inter-generational collaboration is a musical journey with
influences as diverse as Louis Jordan, Babs Gonzales, Charles Mingus, Miles
Davis, KRS-One, Tupac Shakur, Sun Ra and Nine Inch Nails. The two disc package
features a CD with ten original pieces composed by Lindberg and Jamaal and a
DVD with two selections directed by John Bongiorno: "The Myth" music video and
a short documentary on the making of "Tha Sound of Truth".
The Band John Lindberg
has been an important contributor to jazz and creative music for over thirty
years, appearing on over sixty seminal recordings, including thirty seven as a
leader/co-leader.
Rahman Jamaal established himself
as both a hip-hop emcee and an actor in Brandon Sonnier's award winning film
The Beat. He is an integral voice on the west coast hip-hop scene, a member of
Hip Hop Congress and a teacher at The Academy of Hip Hop.
Tani Tabbal is a unique drummer who
masterfully laces odd and mixed meters and a total diversity of rhythmic
feeling and colors into his playing. He has appeared on dozens of key jazz and
world music recordings, and recently released his first solo album.
