Jazz is back motherfuckers and it's bringing Hip Hop with it! The Beats realized the connection between spoken word and Jazz in the 50s and 60s (Mexico City Blues, Amiri Baraka, Ferlinghetti and Stan Getz, etc.) and now The Revivalist is showcasing this renaissance for all the interweb. The below comes from a collaborative album between the jazz singer Nnenna Freelon and The Beast, it's free to download from http://revivalist.okayplayer.com/.
