Us3 ‎– Hand On The Torch

 

Blue Note ‎records 1993– B1-80883

notes:
Hand on the Torch is the debut studio album by British jazz rap
group Us3. It received widespread attention due to its mixture
of jazz with hip-hop music, with material from popular jazz musicians
of the 20th century being reimagined. The samples used on the
 album are from old Blue Note Records classics: the most famous
was Herbie Hancock's "Cantaloupe Island", which Us3 used on
 the track "Cantaloop (Flip Fantasia)".
