Gig Alert: Shabazz Palaces

Music Hub | Aug 5, 2015

ARTIST: Shabazz Palaces 

GIG: Wednesday night at the Music Hall of Williamsburg

If hip-hop and jazz were suited up and sent on a space mission - the music they would make would sound a lot like Shabazz Palaces. The Seattle-based experimental hip-hop group is led by Ishmael Butler, aka Palaceer Lazaro, who comes from jazz-hip hop group Digable Planets. He combines jazz’s melodic qualities with the cut and paste aesthetic of a mixtape.
