Will Sessions impressed with the meticulous craftsmanship of their studio re-workings of the classic tracks on The Elmatic Instrumentals. With their new two-part video "Mix Takes," the five-piece band is taking a similar approach in recreating some of their favorite songs-only this time it was all recorded and filmed live in real time. Whether referencing music by jazz greats Herbie Hancock and Bob James or replaying beats made famous by Nas or J Dilla, it's all presented with seamless transitions in the style of a mixtape, and "Mix Takes" both showcases the band's individual talents and reflects [...]
For Los Angeles readers, DJ Revolution hardly needs an introduction. During his 13 year stint manning the decks for Sway and King Tech on 92.3 The Beat's Wake Up Show, he became a household name for households glued to The Box. These days, he's busy producing music for radio and TV, and deploying his formidable his turntable skills about the globe. It was before a recent trip to Australia that I interviewed Rev and we ended up chatting for close to an hour. That gave me enough time to come up [...]
If you're a fan of Brooklyn-based group The Stuyvesants , then chances are you're familiar with Darien Birks a.k.a. Flwrpt . Every now and then he drops these really cool mixes with rare gems and impeccable song choices! Sample Food Vol. 2 kicks off appropriately with the Otis Redding classic "Try A Little Tenderness" which Watch The Throne has recently revived. I happen to enjoy discovering the origins of samples and many of you Blind I Faithfuls are music historians, critics and even producers. So this one is for you. [...]
Deze week kwam op iTunes het nieuwe album Watch The Throne uit. Een samenwerking tussen rapgrootheden Kanye West en Jay-Z. De namen alleen al zijn reden genoeg om uit te kijken naar het album, en ik moet zeggen, het valt me niet tegen. De beats die gebruikt worden zijn uitstekend geproduceerd, zoals je van de heren mag verwachten. Hier en daar wordt er wat gerecycled (zoals in Why I Love You, die vrijwel helemaal op Cassius' I Love You So is gebouwd (die weer op Patti Richardsons I Feel A Song In My Heart is gebouwd, die [...]
Het verhaal achter de melodie van Eple gaat vrij ver terug. Laten we beginnen bij het begin. The Stylistics, een soulgroep uit de jaren zeventig hebben talloze klassiekers voortgebracht. Zo is Betcha By Golly, Wow een van hun meest bekende hits. Maar ook You Make Me Feel Brand New kent iedereen wel, net als You Are Everything. Vooral de hoge stem van leadzanger Russell Thompkins Junior is herkenbaar, en ik heb serieus lange tijd gedacht dat het een vrouwenstem was. Op hun tweede album Round 2 staat You're As Right As Rain, een van mijn lievelingsnummers van de [...]

Originally written by Ron Temperton, this Bob James cover of 'Sign Of The Times' oozes brilliance. 'Valley Of The Shadows' operates on this environment of subterranean jazz, saxophone improvisation and amazing dynamics and light that comes animates itself intensely in the later half. Pure class.

OK so I've been a fan for a few years now of Bob James whom I discovered for myself after trying to find out what the sample was for Ghostface killah's track daytona 500. I was pleasantly surprised to find the wonderful jazz musician Bob James and after listening to a few tracks I was hooked. As I slowly worked my way through his music I discovered that this man has been sampled to hell and back for countless hip hop classics. But more on that later first let me tell you a bit about the man himself. [...]
![Daily 2% – Chilled and Ready to Serve [Bob James]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3249560_lg.jpg)
This is your Daily 2% – Chilled and Ready to Serve . We will try to bring you one "chill" track every day. This is for when you get home and you are trying to unwind. You reach for that glass of wine or that unlit Black & Mild or maybe you reach for something more herbal. This track is for those times. We will try to bring you at least one a day. We are just your milkmen and I'm here to make a delivery. Chill….. Today's delivery is brought to you by Bob James [...]
Even though most people don't listen to it; Jazz is cool. At least that's how its been played back to us. Even those of us that weren't there to experience its quick burning flame have romantic imagery of uptown heroin fueled sessions of the giants of jazz in black and white blurring all boundaries of music, culture, and race. Truth or not, no one can escape that it's hip to like Jazz (even if you don't) . Now, if someone were to mention jazz fusion or worse yet... smooth jazz... you're likely to imagine the lobby at the worlds most [...]
School just started a couple weeks ago, but I'm already crossing off the days until June, so I can go somewhere and relax by a pool, scarf down some seafood, and maybe glimpse a nice set of titties or so. N'awlins would hit the spot nicely right about now. Maybe if I'm lucky I can find a decent fare in time for Mardi Gras. Alfred, bring me my mask. Listen - Bob James - "Take Me To The Mardi Gras"
You name the hip-hop act, they sampled it; Nautilus by Bob James is probably the most plundered track in the history of sampling, rearing it's head from Public Enemy to Slick Rick and from Wu-Tang to many a downtempo act like Kruder & Dorfmeister and DJ Food. So if your MPC has grown weary of pilfering James' original, here's some new beat fodder. As always I'm going to play favorites, The Simonsound make a return to VG with a quirky, Arp/Moog influenced rendition and we got two [...]
As I stated in an earlier post , "Regulate" is my all time favorite record from the left coast. In 1994 I was just getting started with my hip hop obsession, and the sound my ears were accustomed to at that point was Rza beats and Wu lyrics. When I heard "Regulate" for the first time ( Above The Rim soundtrack) I was captured by how melodic the vocals were and also the different style of production. Not to mention, it was the debut of Nate Dogg, who's voice and delivery was unlike any artist I had heard before, [...]
Bob James - El Verano Kicking off summer 2010 with this bringing-tears-to-my-eyes jam originally posted on bumrocks in Feb. 2007. Featuring a delayed snare drum hit at 2:26, one of my favorite rare funk tropes. For another example of same, check the 1:58 mark (and following) in this .
Sorry about my lack of posts this week. It's been really heavy exam season so I haven't had any time, and I still don't really. I've barely downloaded at all this week. However, I have had an idea. It goes as follows. I will select my five favorite songs, as will all the other FPK contributors, and then you can comment yours on the bottom. However, it isn't as easy as simply picking five. I want an explanation as to why you've chosen, and it can be as corny as mine are. This wasn't as simple [...]
