As in the words of Monty Python ... 'and now for something completely
different'. Hip-Hop Jazz with a hint of classical anyone?
"The Chase (Strings Attached)" featuring Keyon Harrold & DJ Logic is a new reworking from the collaborative minds of accomplished MC
JSWISS and Grammy Award-winning producer and trumpeter
Michael Leonhart.
They originally released the song as a single in Sep '21 and it featured on
their debut album together, "Bona Fide" in Nov '22.
The song has been reimagined with the assistance of an all-star
Brooklyn-based string quartet (Mazz Swift, Dana Lyn, Jessica Troy, Marika
Hughes) and is anchored by Leonhart's piano-driven dynamic production and
JSWISS's wordplay and vocal flow, with heavy beats combining old school
boom bap with modern hip hop production. Keyon Harold provides seductive
horn lines and DJ Logic adds more complexities to the production.
Having sparked creative chemistry during a monthly residency at NYC venue
Jazz Standard, JSWISS and Michael Leonhart released a string of
singles together and their first full project as a duo, "The Alchemy EP", in Jan '21.
Trumpeter, composer, producer, arranger, multi-instrumentalist and
songwriter Leonhart is no stranger to crossing genre lines, having played
on the Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars Grammy award winning hit "Uptown Funk and collaborations with
diverse artists ranging from Meryl Streep through Steely Dan (who he's played with since 1996), David Byrne (Talking
Heads), Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings to Questlove, Wu-Tang Clan and
Q-Tip to name just a small sample (check out his website bio for more). He is the youngest ever recipient of a Grammy award in 1992 aged just
17.
JSWISS operates seamlessly at the intersection between hip hop and
jazz.
