“This CD contains African and South American inspired music from around the world. It was construced for the first of Mochilla’s Timeless series on February 1st, 2009. I had the privilege of performing this set opening for Mulatu Astatke which was his very first Los Angeles appearance. I recorded the rehearsal using the best parts of multiple takes.
This live mix was performed using one Technics turntable, one Rane mixer, and a Boss RC50 loop pedal. Only original 7 inch and LP pressings were used.
Special thanks to everybody at Mochilla for having me part of this historic event. Shout outs to Egon and Quantic for the opening sets and ongoing inspiration.” — Cut Chemist

Jazz is one such base. This year, he’s already released two albums from “spin off bands” that he introduced on Limited edition the 2007 Yesterdays New Quintet Yesterdays Universe album.

Label: Madlib Medicine Show Call it “Yesterdays Galaxy.” Available: July 27th, 2010 High Jazz, the name itself a tribute to the landmark jazz-fusion album released by Stanton Davis’s Ghetto Mysticism in 1976, shows a marked development in Madlib’s craft. Every element of jazz is there. Is that tune modal-funk? Was that song psych-fusion? Was that a bossa-tinged run or another kind of latin-affair? Where did that sitar come from? Madlib’s Yesterdays-excursions are never easy to categorize and that’s the point – while experiencing chops like these, the desire to rigidly define takes a back seat to aural pleasure.
The Madlib Medicine Show series is a combination of Madlib's new hip-hop productions, remixes, beat tapes, and jazz, as well as mixtapes of funk, soul, Brazilian, psych, jazz and other undefined forms of music from the Beat Konducta's 4-ton* stack of vinyl. *4-tons of vinyl, this is true.
