Madlib is one of the most prolific and eclectic producers working today. From hip hop to jazz, reggae to EDM, Madlib releases whatever music he wants. In the case of the Sound Ancestors album, he did something uncommon which was to give a large collection of his ideas to Kieran Hebden, aka Four Tet, to select, arrange, edit and mix into a cohesive album. The resulting album is unlike any other Madlib release, an instrumental hip hop, jazz, reggae collage masterpiece. In this video, we celebrate this album, and explore a connection between Madlib and Miles Davis through the life of Teo Macero, longtime collaborator of Miles Davis.
