I just watched a music video where some gal was singing something about "i'm so hot right now", and it seems they've sampled "Minor Swing".
I recognise the riff from the Campus Five version, but I suspect this is not what they've used. Anyone know anything about this?
Know of any other swing samples used in modern tunes?
'Minor Swing' sampled?

Re: 'Minor Swing' sampled?
I have a feeling it's from Django Reinhardt (g) featuring Stéphane Grappelli (vln), Joseph Reinhardt (g), Eugene Vees (g), Louis Vola (b) which I think is from 1937. They've definitely tweaked the sound.trev wrote:I just watched a music video where some gal was singing something about "i'm so hot right now", and it seems they've sampled "Minor Swing".

The "Ba ba baa....ba ba di" riff to my knowledge first came from Django and has been sampled by heaps of people - including numerous other swing artists. I could be wrong though, but I've not been able to find the riff in songs earlier than Django.

I love hip-hop jazz stuff as well as finding the source material for it.
Check these out:
Madlib - Shades of Blue
US3 - Broadway & 52nd
Guru - Jazzamatazz
Of course the Beastie Boys used some Three Sounds and tons of other Jazz samples in Pauls Boutique. There's a cool series of CD's called the Blue Note Breakbeats. Fun stuff.
