Honored to collab with my favorite Bay Area Lindy Hop & Jazz teacher Traci Bartlow aka “B-Love” on this jazz mix. Nothing but dance floor jazz goodness from Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Cab Calloway, Fats Waller, Lionel Hampton, and more!
A lot of tracks heard from Traci’s Lindy Hop classes as well as a few of my personal favorites. Had a lot of fun working on this with Traci.

Can anyone guess the Hip-Hop songs using these jazz samples in the 30 second intro of this mix? Thumbs up to those who can guess the original song and artist as well =).
K-OS superstar?
that can be one of them yes! Now what did Superstar sample, and what did THAT sample, get it's original source =)
it's also SOHO-hot music
Wynton Marsalis Skain's Domain
a dj at the Malcolm X festival dropped Wynton and then started looping at the 3:55 mark… It was so sick. If he had dropped Hot music right after i would lost my mind dancing
look up Soho's "More Hot Music". It samples another loop on Skain's Domain. Pretty sick too
tight I like it. Just moved the loop a few beats forward.
I heard Gangstarr 'Words i manifest', Black Sheep "Choice is Yours" [McCoy Tyner], ATCQ "Jazz", Moon Dog 'Bird's Lament' (don't know what hiphop song sampled it), and Soho.
Moondog-Bird's Lament
Good job y'all. You WOULD know, Augustin Nguyen haha
Man, when life is now all about nap times & diapers, I jumped on the opportunity to play one of my favorite games–name that sample haha.
