Rap artist JSWISS and award -winning trumpeter, producer and composer, Michael Leonhart release their anticipated debut duo project, The Alchemy EP. With the book Manuscript Found in Accra by renowned novelist Paulo Coelho serving in part as inspiration, the five-song EP boasts dynamic arrangements and top-notch lyricism, while offering musical vibes that combine raw, hip hop beats and orchestral soundscapes. It’s a winning combination perhaps as unlikely as the duo of JSWISS and Leonhart itself, but proves destiny can not be denied. “The Alchemy EP” also features contributions from guitarist Bill Frisell, drummers Homer Steinweiss and Nick Movshon (Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings, Amy Winehouse) and rapper Dizzy SenZe.
