Questlove
The Roots, Philadelphia
Drummer/producer Ahmir 'Questlove' Thompson is a Quincy Jones for our times: a living link between the digital science of modern hip hop and the flesh-and-blood textures of vintage r&b. Besides a pivotal role in the Soulquarians, not to mention the broader Philly scene, Questlove co-founded The Roots, who rejuvenated hip hop in an instrumental flurry that flits effortlessly between jazz, funk, rock, reggae - even disco. Meanwhile, Questlove's collaborations with such artists as D'Angelo, Jay-Z, and Common have reasserted the importance of real-time playing in a style dominated by sampling and programming. He's also a mastermind behind crucial heads' website okayplayer.com. This Philadelphian moves feet and minds with vital rhythm.
