JazzNotJazz

Rap and HipHop music have, of course, become big through the use of samples from Funk, Soul & Jazz. As far as we are concerned, the group that was the most creative in this respect and always put some jazz in both their music and rap is Gang Starr. Unfortunately, rapper Guru passed away too soon, but he actually made a couple of solo albums with Jazz musicians. The producer and creative genius behind this duo was DJ Premier. Gang Starr produced a song for the soundtrack of a Spike Lee film entitled Mo’Better Blues. Jazz Thing consists of many Jazz samples and is therefore also an ode to Jazz. In the lyrics, Guru explains how it all came about. Enjoy this show with the originals of the samples.

JazzNotJazz is a series of unique mixtapes made up of 100 years of jazz recordings, with useful and sometimes not so useful facts. It is also about The Soul of Jazz, so detours into related styles are guaranteed. There are irregularly recurring items, such as “The Unplayed Standard”, “Ellington Train Songs”, “Jazz Cameos” and “More is Better”.
