REG WYNS: BOOM BAP LOVE TAP

Boom Bap Love Tap lands at Sleepwalk as a live set that threads jazz phrasing through hip-hop and R&B structures. Featured performer Reg Wyns works in the hinge between improvisation and beat-driven form, treating the room like an instrument as much as the band. In a city where these lineages have long overlapped—from downtown jazz lofts to outer-borough studios—the project reads as part of New York’s ongoing argument about what “live” means. Its restraint is its point: grooves are kept spare so the details can surface.
