Mos Def - Say You Will (Kanye West Cover) @ The Blue Note, NYC 1-25-09
Earlier this year, Mos Def did an incredible run of six intimate shows at New York’s legendary jazz club, The Blue Note. Black Dante was backed by remarkably talented RCDC Experiment for the occasions (Robert Glasper, Chris Dave, Casey Benjamin & Derrick Hodge) and they put on some of the best shows I’ve seen in a long time. Previously, I had shared “Fantastic” from the first of the six shows, but the true highlight was the cover of Kanye West’s “Say You Will”. The interpretation was beautfiul, with jazzy solos from Robert Glasper and Marc Cary, who also sat in on keys for this song. Mos even peppered in verses from “U R The One”, which fit perfectly in the context of the heartbreak motif. This exclusive 12 min rendition will definitely go down as one of the gems on this site, I cant recommend this enough.
