Episode #33 ::: Stuck Off The Realness -- A Tribute to Prodigy
Jun 21, 201700:35:39Tap to summarizeIf you can imagine what James Brown is to sample based music then you know what Mobb Deep is to Hip Hop scratch hooks. Their resounding mark on deejay culture is undeniable. Today Hip Hop lost one of its most iconic voices. Prodigy was synonymous with the distinctive Queens Bridge sound and gave us what's arguably the defining song (Shook Ones II) of that mid to late 90's East New York hardcore street style. We were stuck off the realness. RIP Dunn.
Transcribe →Episode #32 ::: Jazz Standards & Practices
Jun 2, 201701:12:13Tap to summarizeAfter a few episodes running this format I decided to quit avoiding the standard classics and run some tunes that are fun to talk about. I had a lot of fun talkiing about Duke Ellington's 1956 Newport performance. Think of this as Jazz 101. John Coltrane - Blue Train Duke Ellington & John Coltrane - In a Sentimental Mood Duke Ellington - Diminuendo in Blue and Crescendo in Blue (live at Newport 1956) The Horace Silver Quintet - Song For My Father Miles Davis - Frelon Brun Dave Brubeck - Take Five Sonny Rollins - St. Thomas Charles Mingus - Original Faubus Fables
Transcribe →Episode #31 ::: Put Respek On My Jazz Pt 3
Apr 29, 201700:55:54Tap to summarizeSpring time pushes a button with me. Right as Jazz stepped back into the spotlight on my day to day playlist I was reminded that it was at exactly this time last year that I recorded two Jazz mixshow editions of the podcast. It felt like the time has come around for another. And as there seems to be something in the air I was all about pairs on this episode piecing together two blocks of complimenting musicians. I think it will be pretty evident why. Charlie Parker - Bloomdido Charlie Parker - Cool Blues Sonny Rollins - Grand Street Sonny Rollins - Keep Hold Of Yourself Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers - D’s Dilemma Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers - Along Came Betty Freddie Hubbard - On the QUE-TEE Freddie Hubbard - Bob’s Place
