1994 studio album by Buckshot LeFonque (Branford Marsalis)
Buckshot LeFonque is the debut album of Branford Marsalis's jazz/hip-hop/rock group. Creating a new hybrid sound, it peaked at number 38 on the Heatseekers Billboard chart and number 94 on the R&B Albums chart.
In his AllMusic review, Richard Ginell calls the album "a breakthrough… a marvelously playful and, above all, musical fusion of the old jazz verities and newer currents swirling around the 1990s." David Hajdu's Entertainment Weekly review was more harsh, saying, "The gimmick betrays a project of iffy conviction" and calling the project "old-fashioned," "uninspired," and "all too serious." And People wrote, "Buckshot Lefonque goes from being a cool idea to be-coming cool music only when Branford and crew let hip hop's noise erupt."
