Digable Planets, though not the first to merge jazz and hip-hop, best captured the laid-back charm of jazz hipsters. Their 1993 debut, Reachin' (A New Refutation of Time and Space), featured samples from jazz legends and produced the Top 20 hit "Rebirth of Slick (Cool Like Dat)." They won a Grammy for Best New Duo or Group and toured with live musicians. In late 1994, they released Blowout Comb, their finest album, continuing their jazz-rap fusion while incorporating old school street sounds.
