American instrumental pop saxophonist, composer, song writer and arranger John Klemmer was born in Chicago, Illinois. The original of this track is from his 1969 "Blowin Gold" LP and is a classic amongst the Jazz fraternity as well as being heavily sampled in 90's hip hop by people like Pete Rock, Rob Swift and Kurious. This homage by Simon S uses sections of the original sax melody over a rolling funky fat Hip Hop beat combined with male (Cannonball Adderley) and female spoken word to great effect. This really is a wonderful horn loop !
On the flip a hard to find and sought after slice of real rap from Bostons Ed O.G. who approaches the mike with a purpose. Taken from "The Truth Hurts" LP, this track also features Pete Rock on vocals and this remix is exclusive to this 7 inch!
Using a beautiful flute loop from David Axelrod this one really does hit the spot. |
