Dinner Party is a supergroup with no pretensions
“A lot of musicians have so many fucking rules in their heads that they limit themselves,” Terrace Martin says, halfway through an interview that’s picking up pace as he talks about the intersection of jazz and hip-hop. “They know so fucking much, they don't know anything.” Martin is introducing one of the most formidable supergroup lineups imaginable, a crossover band called Dinner Party, comprising pianist Robert Glasper, producer 9th Wonder, and Martin himself sharing saxophone duties with the inimitable Kamasi Washington.
