Clear Blue - Vienna

”We feel there is huge similarity’s between the Avant-Garde/Free Jazz movement of the 50’s & 60’s & the beat movement of Today. As both movements attempted to break down, extend & alter the conventions of their original genres (Jazz & Hip Hop) & were never afraid to experiment & improvise to create something that wasn’t accepted commercially at the time.”

Cosmic Compositions put up a neat compilation with abstract hip hop producers strictly sampling Pharoah Sanders. Below is a gorgeous example of what’s going on in there from the beat-hands of Clear Blue.
