A wonderful full length debut from Bei Bei on Ubiquity -- collaborating with the kaleidoscopic hip hop funk instrumental stylist Shawn Lee -- and they make a great team! Bei Bei plays the guhzheg -- a traditional Asian string instrument that often spins harp-like sounds -- in unison with the sounds of Shawn Lee, we get a timeless mix of astral and soul jazz atmosphere with a boundary free funk backdrop. Overall it bridges the breakbeat funk and Asian sounds that influenced everything from classic Wu Tang to modern underground funk instrumentalists of all kinds, and the more spiritual jazz sounds of Alice Coltrane and Dorothy Ashby. It includes a couple of excellent numbers with Georgia Anne Muldrow on vocals, "Make Me Stronger" and "Willingness" -- and the whole set is strong, one of the best hip hop era takes on eastern string inspired jazz funk we've heard in a long time! Other tracks include "Into The Wind", "Hot Thursday", "East",, "Little Sunshine", "Bei's Bossa", "Whisky Waltz", "The Tiger", "The Master Room", "The Ambush" and "The Blue Grotto".
