At the April 14 event, you can catch the filmed version of the second concert, Suite For Ma Dukes, dedicated to the late, great J. Dilla, whose posthumous profile is, bittersweetly, eclipsing that of his lifetime. Composed by Miguel Atwood-Ferguson, the performance features a 60-piece orchestra performing a goosebump-raising jazz/soul/hip-hop hybrid, full of moody strings that Dilla himself would have likely sampled. Guest vocalists read like a who's-who of Dilla collaborators: Bilal, Dwele, De La Soul's Posdnuous, Talib Kweli, and more. Hear and see it all large-scale at the Standard; this is music that needs to be experienced from a P.A., not your tinny laptop speakers. Promoters promise giveaways and other fun stuff, too
