Kassa Overall er en jazzmusiker, emcee, sanger, producer og trommeslager, et produkt af New York Citys jazzscene, der forener avantgarde-eksperimenter med hip-hop-produktionsteknikker for at forandre sammenhængen mellem jazz og hip-hop i ukortlagt retninger, der afspejler en panoramisk musikalsk baggrund fra West Coast G-Funk til lyden af New Yorks undergrund.

I de seneste to år har Overall udgivet tre kritikerroste projekter: Go Get Ice Cream and Listen to Jazz (2019), I THINK I'M GOOD (februar 2020), efterfulgt kort derefter af en SHADES OF FLU (maj 2020) ), et corona-mixtape løst inspireret af Madlibs Shades of Blue. Uanset eksperimentet forbliver Overall tro mod udgangspunktet i jazztrommer inspireret fra traditionen af hans mentorer, den afdøde Elvin Jones, og Billy Hart som han studerede hos Oberlin Conservatory of Music.

Overall har arbejdet på forkant med jazzen i to årtier, turneret og indspillet som sideman drummer med kunstnere så forskellige som Geri Allen, Steve Coleman, Francis and the Lights, Yoko Ono, Peter Evans og Gary Bartz. Hans arbejde som producer kan høres på albums af Theo Croker (Escape Velocity), Arto Lindsay (Cuidado Madame) og Das Racist (Sit Down, Man). Han er også med som emcee og DJ på trommeslageren Terri Lyne Carringtons 2020 grammy-nominerede projekt, The Waiting Game, samt trommeslager på Carmen Lundys 2020 grammy-nominerede projekt, Modern Ancestors.

Opvokset i Seattle, Washington, gik Overall på Garfield High School, alma-materen for Quincy Jones og Jimi Hendrix. Han er i øjeblikket baseret i Brooklyn.

Musikcaféen are happy to present Kassa Overall - a progressive jazz drummer. producer and rapper from New York

Kassa Overall is a jazz musician, emcee, singer, producer and drummer, a product of New York City’s jazz scene who melds avant-garde experimentation with hip-hop production techniques to tilt the nexus of jazz and hip-hop in unmapped directions, reflecting a panoramic musical background from West Coast G-Funk to the sounds of the New York underground.

In the past two years, Overall has released three critically acclaimed projects: Go Get Ice Cream and Listen to Jazz (2019), I THINK I’M GOOD (February 2020), followed shortly thereafter by a SHADES OF FLU (May 2020), a quarantine mixtape loosely inspired by Madlib’s Shades of Blue. Whatever the experiment, Overall remains faithful to the pocket of jazz drums in the tradition of his mentors, the late Elvin Jones and Billy Hart, with whom he studied at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music.

Overall has been working at the forefront of jazz for two decades, touring and recording as a sideman drummer with artists as varied as Geri Allen, Steve Coleman, Francis and the Lights, Yoko Ono, Peter Evans, and Gary Bartz. His work as a producer can be heard on albums by Theo Croker (Escape Velocity), Arto Lindsay (Cuidado Madame), and Das Racist (Sit Down, Man). He’s also featured as an emcee and DJ on drummer Terri Lyne Carrington’s 2020 grammy nominated project, The Waiting Game, as well as drummer on Carmen Lundy's 2020 grammy nominated project, Modern Ancestors.

Raised in Seattle, Washington, Overall attended Garfield High School, the alma mater of Quincy Jones and Jimi Hendrix. He is currently based in Brooklyn.
