Blue Break Beats - CD

Various: Blue Break Beats version on 3CD in Standard edition. This particular edition was published in Europe in publishing company Blue Note on 27. January 2017.

Without the funky blue note samples, many a hip hop hit would probably never have been made: Eminem collaborated with Lou Donaldson, Public Enemy with Grant Green, Beastie Boys with Jeremy Steig, De La Soul with Duke Pearson, Bloodhound Gang with Blue Mitchell, Jungle Brothers with Donald Byrd, Common with Bobbi Humphrey, Chemical Brothers with Jimmy McGriff, Dream Warriors with Reuben Wilson, Madlib with Ronnie Foster, Guru with Joe Williams and, and, and, and, the list is endless. The legendary Blue Note originals were unearthed again at the height of the acid jazz revival thanks to the successful "Blue Break Beats" CD + LP series, which made the original recordings from the 60s and 70s famous around the world once again. Until "Blue Break Beats" itself became a rare and expensive collector's item. Now, for the first time, Volumes 1-3 are being released together in an affordable 3-CD box set with a full-color 20-page booklet, extended liner notes and samples.

Album spans genres Jazz, Soul-Jazz and Jazz-Funk.
