US3's jazz hip-hop revolution
"Hand On The Torch" shows new horizons in sampling.
This groundbreaking work samples Blue Note jazz recordings and fuses them with hip-hop. "Cantaloop (Flip Fantasia)," based on Herbie Hancock's "Cantaloupe Island," will go down in music history as a perfect example of the fusion of jazz and hip-hop. US3's intelligent approach and respect for the original song creates an artistry that goes beyond mere sampling. It is a symbolic work of the 90s jazz hip-hop movement.
