marc mac and the chess cadet all stars

marc mac is the guy from 4 hero. last year he put out a great record consisting of beats made using samples from cadet records and its parent label, chess. cadet's heyday was the mid to late 60s. they released great poppy jazz records by the likes of ramsey lewis, ray bryant, ahmad jamal, terry callier, rotary connection, etc. i'm not a fan of 4 hero's smoothed-out electronic soul sound. this is different. it's a really good hip-hop record. mac did a super job and the record, how about a game of chess, is worth picking up.
