"The phrase supergroup tends to get thrown around a lot in reference to any collaborative project. In the case of Dinner Party however, the hyperbolic moniker might just be accurate. Terrace Martin, Kamasi Washington, Robert Glasper, and 9th Wonder are all on the forefront of the blurred boundaries between jazz, soul, and hip-hop. Unsurprisingly, that is exactly the direction of the group’s debut album, drawing from classic soul and jazz sounds but rooted in aesthetic elements from hip-hop." -&nbsp;Caleb Campbell, Under the Radar
