Dela shows appreciation for American Jazz fusion and Soul on his cover project "Headlesshunters Jazz Sessions". The producer who brought us "Changes In Atmosphere" and "The Robert Glasper Beat Tape" shows his musical ability in bringing a dreamlike vibe with his interpretations of classic tunes such as Bob James’ “Nautilus”, “Oblighetto” by Jack McDuff, ”Summer Madness” by Kool & The Gang, and Burt Bacharach’s “Walk On By”. "Headlesshunters Jazz Session" is sure to excite your taste for the sound of Jazz fusion and remind you of classics through the modern musical approach of Dela. It's pretty cool to hear someone like Dela who comes from a sampling background to creeating nice cover versions like these.
