The Doo-Bop Song - Miles Davis featuring Rappin' Is Fundamental (R.I.P.) (1992)

"The Doo Bop Song" was the most well-known track from "Doo-Bop", the final studio album from jazz innovator Miles Davis. This album would have marked the beginning of the artist's turn to hip-hop-oriented tracks. However, Davis died on September 28, 1991, before the album was done. Only six tunes for the album had been completed. To finish off the album, producer Easy Mo Bee was asked to take some of the unreleased trumpet performances (stemming from what Davis called 'the RubberBand Session'), and build tracks that Miles 'would have loved' around the recordings. The album's posthumous songs (as stated in the liner notes) are "High Speed Chase" and "Fantasy." A reprise of the song "Mystery" rounded out the album's nine-track length. The project stemmed from Davis sitting in his New York apartment in the summer with the windows open, listening to the sound of the streets. He wanted to record an album of music that captured these sounds. In early 1991, Davis called up his friend Russell Simmons and asked him to find some young producers who could help create this kind of music, leading to Davis' collaboration with Easy Mo Bee. The result of this collaboration, "Doo-Bop", was released by Warner Brothers Records on June 30, 1992. "The Doo Bop Song" contained samples from "Summer Madness" by Kool & The Gang and "La Di Da Di" by Doug E. Fresh and Slick Rick, and featured vocals by Rappin' Is Fundamental, which consisted of A.B. Money, J.R. (aka Mr. Styles) and Osten Harvey (aka Easy Mo Bee). The album won the 1993 Grammy Award for Best R&B Instrumental Performance. This channel is dedicated to the classic jazz music you've loved for years. The smokin' hot, icy cool jams that still make you tap your feet whenever you hear them . . . Cool Jazz is here!
