The Pollyseeds - Sounds of Crenshaw Vol. 1

2017 CD release.

Over the course of his career, multi-instrumentalist Terrace Martin has crafted rap beats for West Coast stalwarts Snoop Dogg and Kendrick Lamar, while also earning respect as a leader in L.A.’s jazz scene. Martin’s craft defies simple boundaries: he looks to icons like Miles Davis and Charlie Parker with the same regard he has for hometown hero DJ Quik and new jack swing pioneer Teddy Riley. On Sounds of Crenshaw Vol. 1, Martin further showcases his creative growth while giving a platform to a small group of frequent collaborators he named The Pollyseeds.
