Corey's Interludish

[Synthemesc]

Can anyone recommend some music that sounds like Corey's Interlude? maybe some laid back jazzy hip-hop instrumentals? The only thing i know of is the beastie boys instrumental album (in sound from way out) thanx

[JamesKellyDawson]

hey check out Grouch's intermissions on They Dont Have This and also one or two on Making Perfect Sense. I like some jazzy shit like Miles Davis. check out his albums Doo Bop and Kind of Blue and the Birth of the Cool. also John Coltrane A Love Supreme. I also like the Jazz Messengers with Art Blakely and Horace Silver. Horace Silver is the illest piano player. check those out. peace.

[Synthemesc]

ill check those put. Do any of em have a hiphop feel at all?

[JamesKellyDawson]

yeah the Miles Davis album Doo Bop is all hip hop. it carries a real raw feeling of the streets. its a masterpiece. hes even got a mc named easy mo bee dropping a couple verses on the album. its all hip hop with Miles bustin trumpet over the whole album. i highly recommend you peep that album. its off the hook. theres also this jazz musician named Warren Hill. he plays the sax i think. hes got a bunch of tracks with hip hop influence. i havent heard his first album but his second one that came out in 00-01 is super tight. mad jazz influence. check out that stuff and good luck homie. peace

[JamesKellyDawson]

i think grouch's instrumentals on making perfect sense are fresh

[highlife]

fuck, there are WAY too many to mention. that's where hiphop originated; 'born in the break.' but uh, some basic recommendations i'd add are:

herbie hancock 'head hunter'
grant green 'green is beautiful' and 'blue breakbeats'
freddie hubbard 'povo'
david axelrod 'songs of experience' and 'seriously deep'
galt macdermot 'shapes of rhythm'
lou rawls 'carryin' on'
the j.b.'s
the meters
bob james
manzel
grover washington jr.
dorothy ashby 'afro harpin'

as far as record labels, just start with blue note or prestige or chess. i don't know, just dig for albums from those labels (stuff circa '69 to '75). you're bound to find something that's been sampled, tweaked, or altered one way or another.

peaces.

word to the funky meters

[highlife]

do have any recordings of your writtens? i hear you freestyle a lot an shit but i was just wondering if you've got any good, thought out, lyrics with beats that i could peep. let me know if you're ever going to be releasing some shit.

peaces.

[notknowin]

that grant green is so dope, you know of anyone who has sampled from green is beautiful.
dont think ive heard manzel, will check it.

[AtomILL]

yo man,thanks for aquiring if I have any music out,...true,I do love freestyling,and perhaps I do freestyle too much,..as far as thought out lyrics go,I have notebooks filled,..as far as songs written,I have only but a few,as far as beats to go with the songs I have 3 that i've purchased(from two of our favorite producers),and im curently in the midst of building with another one of everyones fave producer who i'll keep anonymous for the time being(seeing as how siant called me out for being a name dropper a few weeks back,..hehe),anyways this other cat im talkin to lives near me,and we've talkin but we've yet to meet up and build and discuss a payment plan,but basically im gonna cop another 2 or 3 beats off this dude,then have him record it for me,along with these other 3 songs I've written(and have the beats for),than I plan to just compile the 6songs onto cd-r and give them to cats for free,...so when I have that shit done,you'll know,because i'll post all over the net tryin to get cats to let me send them my cd =0)

p.s. do you record music?

[AtomILL]

by the way that was INQUIRE hehe

[highlife]

nah, i haven't recorded anything with any emcees. i just made a few beats over summer while i had the opportunity to use a better computer than i'm using now. i've been fucking around with acid and cakewalk for three years, on and off, patiently waiting until i can afford to get an mpc2000xl or sp1200. i've got some of the beats i made burned so that's about as much recording as i've done. i don't really know much about working with the real shit, i'm pretty much just an amateur beatsmith but i will always try to progress as long as i am financially stable. good shit, just let me know when you drop something. peaces.

i believe tribe is the only group i know of who sampled mr. green on the song, 'vibes & stuff.' the grant green song is 'down here on the ground.' it's just the initial break with the bell sound or something. i can't really tell what instrument it is but it sounds like a bell. and then i know one of his riffs is sampled from the same song. i don't know of anyone else who has sampled him but his shit is fire. amazing guitar and killer breaks, what more could a man want? peaces.
