Album lore

Elevated, issued in late 2015 on Paul Dateh Media, distills a singular fusion of jazz, funk, and hip-hop through the lens of violin. This solitary track emphasizes Dateh’s dexterity in blending soulful grooves with improvisational flair, a rare signal within the violin’s typically classical or folk domains. The recording’s lean format invites close listening to the instrumental interplay and rhythmic pulse, where jazz phrasing meets beat-driven momentum.Though modest in reach, with just over a thousand Last.fm scrobbles, Elevated stands as a distinct artifact in contemporary genre cross-pollination. It reflects not only Dateh’s personal lineage but also a broader reimagining of the violin’s role in urban music scenes. The record’s focus on a single extended piece accentuates its meditative qualities and the nuanced dialogue between strings and rhythm, offering a concise but resonant statement for crate-diggers attuned to hybrid forms.
