Noel discusses the impact of jazz giants such as Donald Byrd, Herbie Hancock, and Weldon Irvine (and a few others). Hit play and tell us if we forgot to mention any interesting jazz acts or jazz/hip-hop collabs. Lastly, while recording and EQing this ep, the news of the death of underground hip hop legend and pioneer MF DOOM broke.

We at the Record Spinner Podcast love the metal face villain, and our hearts and thoughts are with the family of DOOM and all in the black music community, who are grieving this sudden and tragic loss.
