Lou Donaldson – “Hot Dog” (1969)
This title track to Lou Donaldson’s 1969 album was later used as a sample for the De La Soul song “3 Days Later.”
Miles Davis – 80s Medley (Unreleased)
A “medley” of unreleased songs from Miles Davis, circa 1985. Some of this is taken from his unreleased Warner Bros. Rubberband album. Sadly, these are not full versions of these songs. They have yet to be released officially. Definitely some funky stuff. This needs to be released!
The “video” looks like it’s of a MD interview and shows Miles sketching as he talks.
Songs include: “Maze,” “Rubberband,” “See I See,” “Digg That” and “Street Smart Cues,” (from the film Street Smart).
Thelonious Monk with John Coltrane – “Ruby, My Dear” (1957)
Taken from the great Thelonious Monk with John Coltrane album, comes this beautiful rendition of the Monk classic. Coltrane sounds superb on this one.
