Search - Jeremy Steig :: Howlin for Judy

On the heels of the recent Droppin' Science compilation, and to the delight of crate-diggers everywhere, come these treasures from deep in the Blue Note vaults. The artists featured here created soulful, and funkified sounds that decades later became the source of grooves, vamps, and beats for today's most heralded DJs and hip-hop producers, from Jay-Z to Beastie Boys to The Roots... On Howlin' for Judy, Jeremy Steig's stone-funky intro run on "Howlin' for Judy" is the most recognisable flute sample in history, most notably as the hook for the Beastie Boys' "Sure Shot." Steig is an eclectic virtuoso with a refreshingly panoramic approach to recording and a wonderfully 1960s-liberated sense of composition.
