Walking Tall

I have become a great fan of SoundNexx over the past few weeks. He posts great tunes along with some well written pieces on various things musical. One piece from a few weeks ago that hit a nerve with me was on the use of sampling. The basic point (Nexx-tell me if I am wrong here) was that many tracks use samples and a lof of the time listeners (a) don't know that the track uses samples and (b) don't know what the original track is being sampled.
So, taking a leaf from the SoundNexx book I will be trying to post original tracks along with the tracks sampling them.

Artist: Brand Nubian
Tune: Concerto in X Minor
Track sampled: 'Walk Tall' by Cannonball Adderley.

I got XM a few weeks ago and I have to say I love it. It has exposed me to some great new tunes that I haven't heard before.
This 'Concerto in X Minor' is one track that caught my attention as it samples the amazing Cannonball Adderley that I had started listening to a few years ago. This track has some hot rappin' and rhymin' laid down over a funky organ loop sampled from 'Walk Tall'. Brand Nubian (part of the sometimes referred to Native Tongues collective) consistently produce smart and positive tracks that inspire.
Enjoy.

Oh man! If you haven't heard of Cannonball Adderley you have probably heard him play. He joined Miles Davis and John Coltrane on such recordings as Milestones and Kind of Blue.
This tune is performed live by the Cannonball Adderley Quintet that included his extremely talented brother, Nat Adderley. With an inspirational introduction by the Rev. Jesse Jackson at a benefit gig this song is a tight tune that delivers the best in big band style jazz with a hint of the funk that Cannonball Adderley started to introduce into his repertoirs as time moved along.

Je lisais quelque chose d'autre à ce sujet sur un autre blog. Intéressant. Votre position sur elle est diamétralement contredit ce que j'ai lu plus t?t. Je suis encore contempler sur les points de vue opposés, mais je suis à bout fortement vers le v?tre. Et peu importe, c'est ce qui est si grande sur la démocratie moderne et le marché de la pensée en ligne.
