HIGH WATER ALBUM INFO

Artist: Fabulous Thunderbirds
Album: High Water
Release Date:

''High Water'' is a jazz fusion album by Brooklyn, New York hip hop music|hip hop artist El-P, released on March 9, 2004 on the Thirsty Ear record label|label (see 2004 in music).

Made in conjunction with jazz piano|pianist Matthew Shipp and the group for which he is artistic director, The Blue Series Continuum, the album is a striking departure from El-P's usual style, almost completely eschewing conventional ideas of hip hop music|hip-hop in favour of electronic music|electronically-tinged jazz fusion collaborations.

The album was created by the Blue Series Continuum improvising to original compositions by El-P, which he then manipulated and restructured. It enjoyed generally very favourable reviews from both the hip-hop and jazz worlds, as well as from more mainstream critics independent of both scenes. The album is part of an already extensive series of such collaborations (the "Blue Series" of the name) on the part of the jazz group.

One track, "When the Moon was Blue", features vocals from El-P's father Harry Meline, also known as Harry Keys, himself a jazz pianist.
