The Gift is a series DJ House Shoes started to spotlight under the radar producers. Pressed in a limited edition of 300 copies.

For the past few years, young Denmark Vessey has
been releasing a series of albums, both as a leader of
carious groups and as a sideman in various others, which
definitely mark him as one of the most exciting young
players in music.
Vessey’s last album prior to this (2013’s Cult Classic)
employed Scud One for the rhythm section. Vessey, in
his own playing suggest that he may be forging a link
between the new mainstream and prior innovations.
It is to Vessey’s credit that this album achieves a surprising
degree of unity. There is little of the haphazard feeling that
too often arrends blowing sessions by pick-up bands. It
would be easier to mistake this for a group which works
regularly. Part of that is simply because Vessey is a part of
the new mainstream, the part that is seeking beyond the
accepted common language to find ways of extending it.
The rest is because of Vessey’s unusual talent.
