MH-205 Fat Jon The Ample Soul Physician - Wave Motion  Wave Motion, the first full-length instrumental release from Fat Jon The Ample Soul Physician of The Five Deez, explores the deeper side of instrumental hip-hop. Using mature production and seductive jazz samples, Jon has created a truly notable record. Taking equal inspiration from 60's Kind Of Blue jazz and 70's Innervisions soul, Jon has crafted a release that chooses understated melodies and chord changes over cheap thrill loops and scratches. It is the work of someone who has spent years in the studio; it is the work of someone who has created thousands of tracks. Wave Motion is Fat Jon's finest work to date and a solid addition to the Mush catalog. |

| Perhaps the most astute jazzman on the Mush imprint, by no stretch of the imagination, Fat Jon must have his doctorate in blues notes. Through Wave Motion, he does to instrumental hip-hop what Miles Davis did to jazz with Birth of the Cool. For sure, there have been some accomplished contenders in the running for best marriage between these musical forms, but not since Dj Cam's arrival has the fidelity been so forthcoming. "For Stress" is a downbeat set-wrecker, resplendent with its soulful brass and woodwind combo. Piling the beats on thick atop a sensual thread, "Wet Secrets" whets the appetite, among other things. - XLR8R |
