blackthought

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again… The Roots’ jam sessions at Highline Ballroom in NYC are a music lovers wet dream.  If you aren’t in NYC, you probably have heard about some of the big name guests that come through the sessions to rock out with The Legendary.  However, what gets unjustly overshadowed are the talented musicians who craft incredible jams on the fly, completely adlibbed.  The jam sessions are just as much about the music as it is the special guests.  Here’s a prime example from one of the jam sessions last month as we have an amazing line-up of musicians creating a lush backdrop for Black Thought to tear through new verses over… oh yeah, did I mention this jam is 15 min long?
