We previously highlighted the work of Nicolas Jaar when fellow Potholesian Brian Hodge hipped us to the Love You Gotta Lose Again stream, which apparently is no longer available. What is available, though, is his gorgeous cover of jazz classic “Ishmael”. The track is originally by South African pianist/composer Abdullah Ibrahim, who probably didn’t have snappy electronics and pulsing bass in mind when he recorded the track in the ’70s. Even so, I think Ibrahim would be proud of this take, should he ever get around to sampling Jaar’s catalog. [via]
Hit the skip to stream the track.
