Herbie Hancock playing the new Alicia Keys piano samples….

Cool little post courtesy of Native Instruments. Check out Herbie Hancock playing the Alicia Keys piano sample collection(note the Korg Oasys). Honestly I can’t understand why Alicia Keys has a sample set before Herbie considering he’s been a music technology guru from the begining but nevertheless the samples sound great and I’m definitely looking forward [...]

Quincy…..the best…Passin Me By

So wanted to post up a classic joint with it’s associated original sample. Decided to go with Pharcyde-Passin Me By, which sampled Quincy Jones-Summer in the City. Pharcyde did a great job of bringing their video and track close to Summer in the City’s original concept but I still thinkthat the video for Summer in the [...]

A quick music post.
This is one of my favorite, if not, my most favorite Wayne Shorter tune, DELUGE. For those unfamiliar, Deluge is a cut off of Mr.Shorter’s JuJu album, a great front to back Jazz album. The piano drop after the intro does it for me every time! Check it out! A lot of [...]

As a longtime fan of Nardwuar and his well researched interviews I have to say I was rather pissed off after watching his interview with Kid Cudi recently. I really loved Man on the Moon definitely one of the hip hop albums that I really bumped last year but after this interview I have a [...]
