Search - The Three Sounds :: Elegant Soul

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 Elegant Soul, This later-period album is a transitory album: the Sounds updating its sound. The aptly titled Elegant Soul finds a more luxurious edition of the piano trio laying down a program of accessible originals and pop hits of the day.
