![]() ![]() What are your thoughts on how jazz in particular picked up on Donuts? ![]() Participating in the discussion were renowned funk/soul/hip-hop DJ and Stones Throw CEO Peanut Butter Wolf, Stones Throw recording artist, veteran jazz drummer and longtime Dilla friend Karriem Riggins, acclaimed electronic music maverick Adam Dorn, who does business as Mocean Worker, and Jeff Parker, the mighty guitarist from Chicago post-rock legends Tortoise. In honor of the 10th anniversary of Donuts, the Observer gathered together an elite handful of friends and fans of Dilla and his contributions to modern music to speak on how the influence of his indelible methods of groove continue to be explored a solid decade since his magic first arrived in our lives. In many ways, Dilla’s passing only two days following the release of what is largely considered to be his magnum opus, the 31-track instrumental journey universally known as Donuts, eerily parallels the trajectory of events leading up to the tragic loss of rock icon David Bowie not even 72 hours after he released his amazing new album Blackstar. ![]()
