Johnny Butler – “Crossing the River” (feat. Kassa Overall) (Video)

Saxophonist Johnny Butler has always had a diversity of influences in his music. It’s worth noting, though, that one of those influences is the drummer/rapper/producer Kassa Overall. They all come together for the video for “Crossing the River” of Butler’s latest album, HyperViolet, with his group The Epic Fail. It’s got jazz, hip hop, interpretive dance, and a hypnotic quality that will require multiple plays. Watch it after the jump.
