Dinner Party is welcoming guests to their Enigmatic Society. On Friday (April 14), the jazz, soul, and hip-hop supergroup, composed of Terrace Martin, Kamasi Washington, and Robert Glasper, released their sophomore album, which features 9th Wonder, Arin Ray, Ant Clemons, and Phoelix.
Lead singles from Enigmatic Society included the Ray-assisted “For Granted” and “Insane” with Clemons. In 2020, the group released their eponymous debut and then followed up with the deluxe, Dinner Party: Dessert, which featured Cordae, Herbie Hancock, Buddy, Bilal, Tank and the Bangas, Punch, and Rapsody, alongside Reuben Vincent, Malaya, and Alex Isley. Dessert received a Grammy nomination for Best Progressive R&B Album in 2022.
Dinner Party came together when Martin and Glasper were on the road with Glasper’s R+R=NOW, originally meeting in 1996 at a jazz band camp. The longtime friends would call on Washington, who Martin met while in high school jazz band and seminal beatmaker 9th Wonder to enhance their production.
