A Little Mystic Brew for You

This is one righteous cut, O My Brothers! Sampled to great effect by A Tribe Called Quest on 'Electric Relaxation' and Madlib on 'Mystic Bounce', this tune by the great Ronnie Foster stands on its own as a really funky example of the brilliant soul Jazz coming out of Blue Note in the late '60's. The bass line is classic, the guitar chords are out of this world, the organ is virtuoso status,  the melody is a simple and catchy pentatonic riff, and the whole thing is very street, very gritty, and yet as smooth as butta. This is the bedrock of hip-hop. Make your day brighter with this:
