For the third installment of the Cubetazo mixtape series, Lexiglass stretches out on a set of improvised originals, interspersed with new spins on classics by Blu & Exile (6), Biz Markie (10) and Madlib (2), whose remix of Bobby Hutcherson’s “Montara,” from Shades of Blue, inspires the tape’s longest cut and album cover. The Blue Note vibe is prevalent throughout, as the band’s close listening exposes its jazz roots. The blues makes a fresh appearance, necessitated by the historical moment.
