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.[1]
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."[1]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."[2] 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."[3]
