The Cori Hypothesis is the brainchild of Grammy-nominated music producer Cori Jacobs, who writes and produces every track. Drawing inspiration from artists like Robert Glasper and the Yellowjackets, this instrumental project blends jazz, funk, and his newly discovered love of Afro Beat elements into a fresh, innovative sound. Cori’s illustrious career includes performances with icons such as Lauryn Hill, Sly Stone, and George Clinton, adding a rich depth of experience to his music.

 

Over the past three years, The Cori Hypothesis has been a standout feature at the Long Beach Jazz Festival, where it has consistently captivated audiences with its dynamic and genre-defying compositions. This project represents the pinnacle of Cori’s musical journey, showcasing his ability to push the boundaries of instrumental music while staying true to his artistic roots.
