I recently went to pick up Donald Byrd's Places And Spaces album, one of my favorite fusion Jazz albums of all time. Luckily I found a second hand 123 in decent conditions at the record store down the street from my place. After listening to it a couple of times, I decided it would be more than appropriate to dedicate this week's Sample Sundays to the best track on the album, Wind Parade as it has been sampled in a bunch of very classic rap tracks. enjoy.

What a lovely groove... Feel Like Loving You Today - Cosmic Boogie Edit by Cosmic Boogie

If it ever stops raining for more than 12 hours, I'll still be swimming through the humidity. If we would have got 1/4 this amount of precipitation this past winter I could forgive it now. Easily one of my favorite pieces by Byrd. Duuummmmeeee..... Tonic : Donald Byrd - Cristo Redentor (don lowed)

Filed under: News , R.I.P. Guru , Gang Starr 's legendary MC, died Monday according to a statement released by the rapper's longtime musical partner and collaborator Solar. Born Keith Edward Elam, the performer -- who recovered from cardiac arrest last month -- died of "cancer-related causes" after a "long fight" with the disease. He was 43. "The world has lost one of the best MCs and hip-hop icons of all-time -- my loyal best friend, partner and brother, Guru," Solar said in the statement. "Guru [...]

Here's the standard issue LJB monthly mix (not to be confused with the other extra-curricular mix we did this month!) For once, it actually looked like it would be released in the same month it's named after, which i was rather pleased by, but zshare and my internet connection decided against it. We can but dream. Anyway, this month's theme is the classy world of the trumpet solo. All the songs feature either a set-piece trumpet solo, or merely a trumpet being played on its own, at some point. Originally there wasn't going to be a lot of [...]

I found The Morning Benders by sifting thru Pitchfork.tv's video series where he got local musicians and friends to perform his song Excuses , it came out great and it really had a memorable feel to it. One band I want to see live this year is Yeasayer , it shouldn't be hard since we both live in Brooklyn. If their shows are anything like their video for Ambling Alp then even Daft Punk might have a contender for best band characters. Lindstrom [...]
