MUSIC THAT MATTERS – “Lyric of the Day”
(Music Cut #1 – opening to “Verses from the Abstract”)
Okay…
we’ve already covered TWO albums…
released on September 24th, 1991.
But it turns out… we’re still not done.
A Tribe Called Quest…
The Low End Theory
(Music Cut #2 – more “Verses from the Abstract”)
Tribe wanted jazz to be part of the album…
so they brought in legendary bassist Ron Carter.
His one rule?
No smoking in the studio.
(Music Cut #3 – “Footprints” Miles Davis)
And when Ron Carter makes a rule…
you listen.
Even Q-Tip.
Before playing with Tribe…
Carter spent years playing bass with Miles Davis.
So there’s the direct jazz line…
from Miles Davis…
to A Tribe Called Quest.
(Music Cut #4 – end of “Verses from the Abstract” with Ron Carter getting cited)
LYRIC OF THE DAY:
“The world is kinda cold and the rhythm is my blanket
Wrap yourself up in it, if you love it, then you’ll thank it.”
