Trumpeter Dave Guy of The Roots, The Dap-Kings, and Menahan Street Band has a new single out, and it's everything you'd expect an artist with that cred to sound like. Like his previous solo singles, "Pinky Ring" is predominantly jazz, but is layered with soul and hip hop. The drums in the new single are especially hip hop-esque, and although "Pinky Ring" has a smooth jazz vibe, it also has an unexpected edge to it. This is the perfect jumping on point if you've been trying to get more into jazz but have been unable to. Dave Guy takes the coolness of classic jazz and updates it for the modern listener.
You can listen to "Pinky Ring" below. Ruby is due out September 20 on Big Crown Records, and is available for pre-order here. For more on Dave Guy, check out the artist on Instagram.
