Dubbed by Radio 1's Benji B last year as \"the UK's Herbie Hancock\", his versatility as a musician is actually more akin to Prince in the sense that he can play most instruments, and play them well. His contributions as a musician, composer \u0026amp; producer have included work with Bugz In The Attic, Amy Winehouse, Slum Village, Mulatu Astatke, Soul II Soul, Moonchild, Leroy Burgess, Amp Fiddler and loads more over the years, additionally to being a key player on Jazzy Jeff's PLAYlist album 'Chasing Goosebumps' along with Masego, Stro Elliot, 14KT, Tall Black Guy, Rich Medina and the like, and various projects alongside Dego (2000 Black) and First Word label-mates Eric Lau, Darkhouse Family \u0026amp; Children of Zeus.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Serious Times' is another 4-track set comprised of Kaidi's unmistakable style, encompassing broken beat, jazz, boogie and hip hop. The EP starts off with the hype jazz-funk bruk of 'Cost of Living', maintaining the tempo into 'Don't Cry Now' which leads with a sweet latin-tinged piano riff. Onto the flipside, and we're treated to the slinky synth-boogie of 'Sugar' before dropping the tempo down \u0026amp; closing the selection with a warped but jazzy instrumental boom bap piece entitled 'Zallom'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKaidi is a national treasure quite frankly, and this EP is another mere taster of this man's endless talents and unique vibes. Some grown folk music, perfect for these 'Serious Times'…\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVinyl \u0026amp; digital released on Friday 19th July 2019 on First Word Records (Worldwide Awards 'Label of the Year 2019').\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"First Word Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42238920491164,"sku":"FW196","price":11.38,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/products\/1_81a157bc-87e3-4317-a39f-a1789a598cdd.jpg?v=1671395087","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/kaidi-tatham-serious-times","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
