J Dilla - Nag Champa Orchestral Mix

from Like Water For Chocolate - 2000
and Suite for Ma Dukes - 2009

This week sees the anniversaries of James Yancey’s birth and death [he would have been 38 today]. My annual birthday gift to Dilla is spreading his music – in February 2010 I introduced his work to orchestra audiences in Iowa, but in the absence of as grand a tribute this year I instead have two wrapped CD copies of Suite for Ma Dukes to give away, courtesy Miguel Atwood-Ferguson and Mochilla. Drop me a line with a note about what Dilla’s music means to you or like/reblog this post and I’ll randomly select two recipients.
