here are some jazzy jams that really flip my switches. . .
fat jazzy grooves 4 + 5 (game over man! wonka-esque)
anything with the name DJ Takamura on it
(there's an old one called Waiting For the Sun that has a Japanese rap track
that i promise will floor you. . .and also has some serious jazzy movers. . .
currently he's got a MO WAX remix of Waiting which combines funky chunky beats
and a most ethereal female vocal that gives me mad goosebumps)
Trash Jazz (another *old* sale bin score) Weary Traveller still gets played by
the fearless few (Keoki and myself included) imagine that
but by far the finest purveyors of mad jazz are the folks at Blue Note
the Hammond comp (i'm a sucker for that instrument) is flawless
and the blueBreak comp will have you saying. . .
"ohhh that's where __________(put popular rap group here) got that beat from"
they've got truckloads of rereleases from the pioneers of bump. . .
jack mcduff, donald byrd, grant green, and so on and so on and so on
