Keyon Harrold
Foreverland
(Concord Jazz)
★★★
FROM Stetsasonic to Kendrick Lamar’s To Pimp A Butterfly, jazz and hip-hop have long had a symbiotic relationship. On Foreverland, his third studio album, trumpeter-composer Keyon Harrold does an impressive job of melding the two genres.
Having been a session musician for stars including Jay-Z, Beyonce, Rihanna and Erykah Badu, Keyon is clearly very talented, and fans of Miles Davis and Terence Blanchard will find much to enjoy here.
