Fantastic....still.


Feb. 28th. The end of 'Dilla Month'. Two gems: "Untitled/Fantastic" (instrumental) & its orchestral companion, "Suite For Ma Dukes (Untitled/Fantastic)". 


The first is the original (instrumental) version that appeared on the Slum Village album, 'Fantastic Vol. 2'. The second is the symphonic rework, that was composed/performed to commemorate Dilla's passing, on what would have been his 36th birthday (2010).

Having an orchestra interpret this song is an amazing testament to his brilliance. 

Dilla was a genius.

Amen.

The only symphony where the orchestra members are bobbing their heads! I love it!

RIP J. Dilla.
