Award-winning saxophonist/musician/producer Terrace Martin has just dropped off a new album, Curly.

The nine-track outing marks his second project of the year, following his release, Enigmatic Society, with super group Dinner Party (Robert Glasper, Kamasi Washington) which dropped in April.

His latest project, Curly, includes the tracks “24th By The Lake," “Final Thought," “Valdez Off Crenshaw," “Blue Monday," “The Voice Of King Nipsey," and a new rendition of "How Much A Dollar Cost" which was originally featured on Kendrick Lamar's game changing album, To Pimp A Butterfly, which he played a huge role in producing.

“I wanted to do an album that represented a few of the lessons my father gave to me,” Martin said of the project. “He would always talk about groove and soul. He would always tell me that the notes don’t mean shit if they don’t have soul and groove behind them and I honestly feel the exact same way. I got together with a few of my favorite musicians that understand how important those two things are. My father was very ill at the time of me doing this album and I would call him daily to check on him. I remember one of the last conversations we had on the phone was a hour long talk about the blues and how important the blues was to us . He told me to never lose that and I said I never will. Love you pops Rest in power Curly.”
