Branford Marsalis should be known to every Jazz lover, to those who watched him play the USA anthem at the NBA All-Star game in New Orleans, to the Premo fans or lets say Gangstarr fans, fans of the Jazzmatazz series or whoever saw Spike Lee’s Mo Betters Blues or Men in Black, and really who hasn’t seen the MIBs?
In 1992 he first collaborated with Gangstarr for the track Jazz Thing and later formed the group Buckshot Lefonque to release 2 great and mostly instrumental albums displaying a very broad musical picture. The first one was the self titled Buckshot Lefonque in 94 and the second one was Music Evolution released in 97.
Since I’m trying to keep it more or less hiphop (whatever that means..) I’ll post the Another Day VLS from ’97 which features tracks produced by Dj Premier and guest appearances by Guru and Uptown of Dope on Plastic fame. Enjoy those 18:22 minutes plus the single and video for Breakfast @ Denny's.

Thanks for the treat. I encourage everyone to download the link above and check out dirty waters blog as well. I love this blog. Keep up the good work.
thanks for the link, added it to the post
You forgot he was Leno's band leader in the early 90's. also his brother Wynton is considered the caretaker for the jazz style by many. Their dad Ellis isn't too shabby on the piano either. They're all big New Orleans figures.
Props on the jazz post.
his brother delfayo is nice on the trombone as well.
then there is the small matter of him being a sideman for *sting* and bringing the bassist from his OTHER big sideman gig: darryl jones from the miles davis band.
not sure if you (or dirty water) do re-ups, but that showbiz remix is NOT easy to get--even thru "legit" channels.
