Because of Skyzoo‘s love for his hometown of Brooklyn, I think that I can be forgiven for assuming that the Dumbo Station jazz band that’s credited on his recently released The Bluest Note album was an NYC-based band whose name referenced the Brooklyn neighborhood/district of DUMBO/Down Under Manhattan Bridge Overpass. The truth is, Dumbo Station is a talented jazz quartet from Rome, Italy whose absorbing nu-jazz sound meshes extremely well with Skyzoo‘s confident coolness and brilliance as an emcee. This collaboration creates an EP that feels scenic in that you can almost see Sky masterfully holding court at the Blue Note Jazz Club NYC with the members of Dumbo Station at his back and a melting pot of music fans creating a classy scene all around him. From start to finish, The Bluest Note feels like a New York album, but the hip-hop and jazz influences are well balanced and will definitely satisfy “true fans” of both genres. You can listen to (and buy) The Bluest Note EP via the links listed below as well as catch up on the latest music and news from both Dumbo Station and Skyzoo by making sure that you’re connected to both acts via the social links listed below.
“Since my debut album, I’ve never released a project that didn’t include a moment of jazz influence; with some sort of live instrumentation, something that connected my lyricism with the truest definition of musical lyricism; jazz. As much as I’ve incorporated my favorite genre of music with my other favorite genre of music, this is the first time I’ve been able to craft an entire project based on jazz production from top to bottom. The Bluest Note is a testament to something I’d been longing to do for as far back as I can remember.” – Skyzoo
