Tuesday, April 5, 2011: Guru feat. Donald Byrd - Loungin'

Released in 1993, Guru's Jazzmatazz, Vol. 1 is a jazz rap album, one of the first albums to combine a live jazz band with hip hop production and rapping.

This is one of those records where I know exactly where I was and who I was with when I first heard it.

Some songs I post on my humble blog to make you get up and dance, or go to the window and shout.

Today, however, I implore you, gentle reader, to just stop what you are doing and learn the lesson of Loungin'.

It seldom gets more chill than this.

Enjoy
