Freddie Hubbard (April 7,1938 - December 29, 2008)

It was a big shock for me to find out weeks after the fact that legendary Jazz trumpeter Freddie Hubbard passed away. I have a few of his vinyl records in my collection and enjoyed hearing him play with the Blue Note Records family. If you're not familiar with who he is and his music, check out this gem. For those who are familiar, enjoy this again and again.

Freddie Hubbard - "The Body and the Soul"

J-Dilla Tribute Mix Pt.1 by DJ Kool Emdee

Early February marks the birthday and 3 year anniversary of the passing of James Yancey (2/7/74 - 2/10/06) a.k.a. J-Dilla/Jay Dee. J-Dilla was known by fans as the greatest Hip-Hop producer of all time, commonly reffered to as the "G.O.A.T." He has produced tracks or did remixes for Slum Village, Erykah Badu, Common, A Tribe Called Quest, Janet Jackson, Talib Kweli, Amp Fiddler, and many more. With his birthday approaching, I decided to post a mix I did some time back for an event that featured a tribute to the late producer, entitled J-Dilla Tribute Mix Pt.1. For info on the upcoming tribute weekend (2/7/09 - 2/10/09), log on to Reloaded2009 Part two of the mix will be posted soon.
