The 1969-&#8217;75 work of their artists would be a treasure trove for innovative hip-hop artists; many of the era&#8217;s best jazz\/pop tracks were sampled on important works by De La Soul, Brand Nubian, A Tribe Called Quest, Biz Markie, Dr. Dre, J. Dilla and many others. Blue Note has compiled some of the best. But the resulting compilation &#8212; including tracks by Donald Byrd, Lonnie Smith, Lou Donaldson and others &#8212; is more than simply a history lesson. The great playing, hooky arrangements and (generally) laid-back vibe come together to make a great make-out soundtrack. Try it, kids. (The digital album and vinyl versions add three tracks).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is one of those projects that makes you ask, &#8220;Why didn&#8217;t someone do this sooner?&#8221; Many artists on the famed Blue Note label have had their work sampled over [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[19,35,60,65,69],"tags":[348],"class_list":["post-9440","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-compilation","category-gospel","category-rb","category-review","category-soul","tag-blue-note","cat-19-id","cat-35-id","cat-60-id","cat-65-id","cat-69-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9440","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9440"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9440\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9441,"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9440\/revisions\/9441"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9440"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9440"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9440"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
