This is something that has always fascinated me, because Jazz Fusion or even Jazz is a music genre i have more or less zero knowledge of.
There was a documentary about DnB/Jungle in the 90ies called Lost in music. I had it on a VHS tape and it was like my bible, because that was before the internet.
In this doc is a sequence with Source Direct and they play a jazz fusion song, naming it an inspiration to the way the sounds are intertwined.
So i did a bit of research and found out, that record is Lonnie Liston Smith - Expansions.
Here is a link to that scene on youtube:
So i began checking out Lonnie Liston Smith albums and very quickly recognised a bunch of well known (sampled) sounds.
Also i was blown away by the music. Absolutely beautiful 70ies music you should all check out !
So for example, there is
'Roni Size - Its a jazz thing' in 'Lonnie Liston Smith & The Cosmic Echoes - Shadows'
The riff from 'JMJ & Richie - Free La Funk (PFM Rmx)' is in Lonnie Liston Smith & The Cosmic Echoes - Starlight & You'
Does anybody know more jazz fusion sample sources like this ?
I know that 'Photek - Rings around Saturn' is sampled from 'Astral travelling by Pharao Sanders' and im sure the beginning of 'Bitches Brew by Miles Davis' has been sampled,
but i cant quite recall by whom.
Also 'Adam F - Circles' is basically 'Westchester Lady by Bob James'.
