"Montara" - (Bobby Hutcherson)

GEORGE DUKE NO RHYME NO REASON SAMPLE

Considered one of of the most polific jazz and pop artists in music, Grammy winner George Benson is quite simply the best! From the classic In Fight album, this remake of War's staple cut has always been one of my favorites. I love playing it in my dj sets, when I get the rare opportunity to play out! I just decided to make a more dj-friendly version with some solid drum work to fill it out. It's one of those songs that when you hear it, it takes you somewhere else. 
I hope your dancing and listening journey is good with this joint! 
Enjoy!

Lonnie Liston Smith - Peaceful Ones (Daco Rework) - FREE DOWNLAOD

I was awakened this morning to the news that Bobby Hutcherson, the prolific, legendary and arguably jazz’s greatest vibraphonist has passed away. For music lovers, this scenario is all too familiar. For jazz heads however, this neverending cycle of loss doesn’t take pit stops.

I would like to be able to tell you a story of how and when I first heard (of) Bobby Hutcherson, but unfortunately I can’t. What I can acknowledge is that his music has over the years become an integral part of my, if not daily, then weekly music routine. I’m regularly asked by friends whether I like this or that album from such and such, but when it comes to Hutcherson’s music, my reply is usually “Buy anything on the spot”. It’s this incredible level of consistency that’s made Hutcherson one of my all-time favorite musicians. The sheer scope of his work, be-bop, modal, latin, post-bop, fusion, the many classic albums he’s recorded through the decades, are the reason why Hutcherson’s become synonymous with the vibraphone in jazz.

In the mix below, I purposely put the emphasis on his solo output, because if I hadn’t, the mix would probably be around 10 hours long.

Rest in Jazz Bobby, you will be sorely missed…

You'll Never Get To Heaven - If You Break My Heart

The Stylistics - Make It Last (DJ Jazz Instrumental)

To commemorate the passing of the great jazz trumpeter Donald Byrd today, I'd like to share my edit, originally released on the Editions Disco label, of one of my favorite songs of his - the jazz-funk and breakbeat classic "Think Twice".  Produced by the incomparable Mizell Brothers, it was sampled (and provided the basis) for three straight-up classic records: A Tribe Called Quest's "Footprints", Main Source's "Looking At The Front Door", and Armand Van Helden's house masterpiece "Flowers".

Byrd's records were a gateway for many of us who got into the nascent jazz-funk, rare groove and breakbeat scenes of the 1990s as DJs and collectors.  But his 1970s albums for Blue Note like Street Lady, Places & Spaces, as well as those of his protégés the Blackbyrds, were not just a rich trove of hip-hop samples for the eager beat-digger - they contained great songs that helped us to appreciate jazz as a popular art-form that was still engaged with contemporary soul, funk and R&B music, and encouraged investigating its infinite musical dimensions further.  He was, and is, tremendously important to my development as a DJ and lover of music.  We've lost a giant today.  RIP.
