Quincy Jones - Summer In The City (1973)



It surprises me how far you can go past in time and still get those crispy, jazzy breaks. A sound that emerged back then, but today breathes through the airways of trip-hop, lounge and nu-jazz.

With samples that were later used by Nightmares On Wax and The Pharcyde, this is a great example of the root, the foundation of todays breaks and jazz-influenced electronic music.

Despite the name, I think this music fits nicely to the quiet relaxed winter days.

Does this remind you of something? Well try:


Massive Attack - Exchange



Nightmares on Wax - Les Nuits


The Pharcyde - Passin Me By

Merry Christmas, happy holidays - and enjoy the vibes.
