The Bluest Note (LP)

With Retropolitan, Skyzoos most recent collaborative project with Pete Rock, he got to
live out a dream, as two generations of legendary native New Yorkers aligned to create
an album that was both a love letter and a wakeup call to the city they love.

Now, with The Bluest Note, Skyzoo is checking another box on his bucket list. Since my debut album, Ive never released a project that didnt include a moment of jazz influence; with some sort of live instrumentation, something that connected my lyricism with the truest definition of musical lyricism; jazz Skyzoo commented.

As much as Ive incorporated my favorite genre of music with my other favorite genre of music, this is the first time Ive been able to craft an entire project based on jazz production from top to bottom Skyzoo quipped. The Bluest Note is a testament to something Id been longing to do for as far back as I can remember.

In 2017, Sky was touring in Italy and met the Tuff Kong Records team, who recruited Dumbo Station to bring Skyzoos vision to life and in June 2019 Skyzoo was in Rome writing, composing and recording music with the talented musicians.

Collaborating with Italys renowned jazz band Dumbo Station was an absolute honor. From writing musical arrangements with them and having them bring them to life in the studio in Rome, Italy; it was a perfect union and execution of what I foresaw when I began to sketch out the project. Six songs, as an homage to the classic jazz albums of the genres heyday (when LPs were around six tracks total). The Bluest Note is the storytelling and inner-city expressions youve come to know and love from me, attached to the jazz orchestration Im dying to introduce to some and re-introduce to others. Ladies and gentlemen, this is, The Bluest Note
