The jazz supergroup Dinner Party, comprised of Robert Glasper, Terrace Martin, Kamasi Washington, and 9th Wonder, has released their new album, "Whatchu Bringing?". The project cultivates a relaxed and comfortable groove, characterized by a communal atmosphere and a distinct hip-hop sensibility.
Rooted in the artists' long-standing friendships, the album's creation emphasizes collaboration and mutual enjoyment. Phoelix, a de facto fifth member, co-wrote all nine songs, contributing significantly to the cohesive sound and magnetic energy.
Production-wise, Terrace Martin leads with gentle yet confident arrangements. Isaiah Sharkey's guitar embellishments add flair, while 9th Wonder provides the hip-hop-infused rhythm section. The result is a soulful vibe that feels both familiar and experimental.
Compared to their debut EP, "Whatchu Bringing?" is smoother and more confident, offering musical "tapas" that satisfy with each brief, well-crafted piece. It celebrates collaboration, creating a beautiful and fleeting musical experience.
