Yussef Dayes – Duality
British producer/drummer Yussef Dayes released his two-track Duality EP earlier this month, and the 26 year old jazz musician has released an accompanying video which combines the singles “For My Ladies” and “Othello”.
“Duality” showcases Dayes’ unwavering ability to passionately construct pieces that are both captivating and melodic from behind the kit. Featuring the talented keyboardist Charlie Stacey, and Bassist/Guitarist Rocco Palladino, “Duality” hits hard and fast, blending together funk, hip-hop, jazz, and soul.
Opening half “For My Ladies” is a sultry, smooth synth-forward jazz number, before taking off into the jet-fuelled “Othello”, both highlighting Dayes’ powerful percussion talents.
The video was directed by German photographer Florian Joahn, and utilizes light and shadow alongside vibrant canvases for a warm, captivating effect. The simplicity of the video lets the listener hone in on Dayes and his band’s stunning musicality.
