The jazz and neo-soul supergroup Dinner Party has announced a new album titled "Watchu Bringing?" [1, 2].

The announcement marks a significant return for the collective, which blends high-level jazz improvisation with contemporary soul and hip-hop production. By reuniting these specific musicians, the project aims to build on the critical and commercial momentum of their previous collaborative efforts.

Dinner Party consists of Kamasi Washington, Robert Glasper, Terrace Martin, and 9th Wonder [1, 2]. The group previously gained attention with their self-titled debut album and a revamped edition called "Dinner Party: Dessert" [3]. This new project serves as the follow-up to their 2023 release, "Enigmatic Society" [1, 2].

Along with the album announcement, the group shared a new single titled "If It Ain’t Broke (Love Wins)" [1]. The track highlights the group's signature fusion of styles, a blend that has defined their output since the collective first formed.

Brooklyn Vegan said the supergroup has officially announced the new album [2]. The group's history is rooted in a shared desire to bridge the gap between traditional jazz and modern urban music, utilizing the distinct strengths of each member's individual discography.

Washington brings his expansive orchestral jazz approach, while Glasper and Martin provide the harmonic and melodic glue. 9th Wonder contributes the rhythmic foundation and hip-hop sensibility that anchors the group's sound in a contemporary context [1, 2].

“Dinner Party, the jazz/neo-soul supergroup featuring Kamasi Washington, Robert Glasper, Terrace Martin, and 9th Wonder, have announced a new album.”

The return of Dinner Party signals a continued industry trend toward 'supergroup' collaborations that dismantle the barriers between jazz and hip-hop. By following 'Enigmatic Society' with 'Watchu Bringing?', the collective is cementing its role as a primary vehicle for modern jazz's evolution into a more accessible, genre-fluid format.
