R&B Sample/Track ID help needed
kicks79 said:Are we still doing
or have we matured as a community?Yeah, I feel like we’re past clonning on the Timmys and dem “folls and idoits”
That aside, I can’t identify the sample. It sounds too indistinct to me.

Why are the Jazz is Dead release so tepid?
In fairness, it seems to me like it’s the legends themselves who’ve lost the “lightning in a bottle”.
Bob James put some stuff out a few years back, and it was just snoozy jazz trio biz of classics like “Westchester Lady” etc…tepid!Janko Nilovic was backed by funky Ruskies The Soul Surfers on an LP from a year or so ago…tepid!
Arthur Verocai’s recent(ish) stuff (other than “Bis”) is tepid. Floating Points tried to summon magic from the majestic Pharoah Sanders not long ago and got tepidity. Gil Scott Heron, Brian Jackson, etc. etc.This isn’t (and won’t be) an exhaustive list, but I think these legends just lose it after a time, or have perhaps moved on from the peak of their sound. Who knows why.The Jazz Is Dead series has some nice moments on them, but nothing that will make you sit straight up when it hits you.
