The founding idea of The Midnight Hour, stated plainly: hip hop's rhythmic instinct written for a full orchestra and played live to tape. Six years after these sessions were shelved, "Constellation" still sounds like the thesis Younge and Muhammad set out to prove. Adrian Younge and Ali Shaheed Muhammad have spent two decades building the sound serious listeners reach for when describing what great music feels like. By 2018 it had become The Midnight Hour: their self-titled debut, recorded to tape with a live rhythm section and a full orchestra, and released to widespread acclaim. It was a record that refused the shortcuts — no grids, no corrections, just musicians in a room committing performances to tape. By 2020 the duo were deep into sessions for a second album. Then Jazz Is Dead took over. The first albums in the series asked for everything they had, and The Midnight Hour was set aside, unfinished and unheard. The tapes went on a shelf at Linear Labs and stayed there. Now those tapes have been unearthed. Preorder the album at jazzisdead.com #JazzIsDead #Jazz #Artist
