Whether it's Amanda Whiting's harp countdown to Christmas or Yoga & Harp at this years' London Jazz Festival, the harp keeps making a come back from the untrendy wilderness of the old days.
And we already know from Küf Knotz and Christine Elise's 'Hypnagogia' (see review HERE) that this duo know how to use it in the almost unheard of area of hip-hop/beats culture - apart from samples of Alice Coltrane and Dorothy Ashby that is
And on 'Cascade', "we proceed, and continue" with some jazzy consious hip-hop which isn't as harpy (Ed. that's not a word?) as 'Yü' that's very radio friendly and full of positivity and self-awareness.
Küf Knotz (Producer/MC) and Christine Elise (Harpist/Vocalist) definitely have a uniquely individual blend of hip-hop, soul and classical/jazz heritage that they can transpose from 'golden era' 90s to today and this release is proof of their growth.
