Gary Thomas - The Kold Kage

The Kold Kage, grabado por Gary Thomas en 1991, es una exitosa mixtura de jazz y rap; en particular, considerando que se trata de géneros cuyo maridaje no es sencillo.
Incluye una ejecución en saxo tenor furiosa, demoledoras bases rítmicas y magistrales solos de piano y de guitarra.
Dicho lo anterior, prefiero los temas en los que el rapero está ausente.***1/2
