Q-Tip, whose work has always carried a strong jazz influence, is no stranger to working with jazz musicians.  Jazz bassist Ron Carter appeared on A Tribe Called Quest’s “Verses From The Abstract.”  Q-Tip has also recorded with jazz trumpeter Roy Hargrove.  In 2003, Q-Tip co-produced jazz guitarist Kurt Rosenwinkel’s Heartcore album.
