Big ups to Elson on that Gus Gus, went to pick that up on the strengh of his
enthusiasm.
Here's my 5:
Adventures in Paradise -- Minnie Ripperton
The whole damn thing but two tracks include samples for some of a Tribe
called Quest's greatest.
Cum Together -- Dianne Reeves & Cassandra Wilson
DJ Smash (Giant Steps, New Breed, Fat Jazzy, Grooves) is BACK with this 7+
minute remake of the Beatles(?) Come together. Great vocals and Smash lets
the music breathe...about 3 minutes of music after the last vocals.
Other side of the Game/Appletree -- Erykah Badu
The two Roots-produced tracks on Badu's album...nuff said!
Sometimes (RMX) -- BNH
The Ummah (Tribe) mix is bouncy with that quirky way that Tip and crew plays
with the back beat...and Q-tip sounds refreshed on the formulaic rap.
I'll Play the Fool -- Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band
The first song on an Album that mixes, swing jazz, big band jazz, and disco.
It's like going to a 20's jook joint in the '70s.
Qool DJ Marv
