Seriously Deep

Seriously Deep is an obscure release, but also one of David Axlerod's tightest, and most exploratory ones. Across six

tracks, Axelrod and his collective of players dip in and out of bounding jazz-funk, Afro-Latin grooves, cinematic flourishes,

psychedelic synth washes, and blaring big band horns. It's a singularly insular curiosity of musical impressionism that's

equal parts brooding and joyous, a definitive part of Axelrod's discography, and a well of sample material for tracks by

Mobb Deep, Large Professor, The Black Eyed Peas, and Beanie Siegel, among others.
