Madlib follows Brain Wreck Show with the seventh installment in his Madlib Medicine Show, a jazz album with his Yesterdays New Quintet called High Jazz !

Madlib�s been busy this year. And while his recorded output always spans the gamut, he often returns to recurrent themes, spread across the genres that serve as home base � or bases, as it were. Jazz is one such base. This year, he�s already released two albums from �spin off bands� that he introduced on the 2007 Yesterdays New Quintet Yesterdays Universe album. And, with High Jazz, Madlib begins a new � offering familiar jazz sounds from a series of �new� groups from his ever-augmenting cosmos.
Call it �Yesterdays Galaxy.� High Jazz, the name itself a tribute to the landmark jazz-fusion album released by Stanton Davis�s Ghetto Mysticism in 1976, shows a marked
development in Madlib�s craft. Madlib�s Yesterdays-excursions are never easy to categorize and that�s the point � while experiencing chops like these, the desire to rigidly define takes a back seat to aural pleasure.
