Can't Keep runnin'

This sample has been very close to my heart lately as I have been trying to delve deeper into the Samba sound, jazz and hip hop cocreate to make something fuller. Take a listen....

Saudade Vem Correndo-Stan Getz

The song was recorded in 1961, "Obviously inspired by Stan Getz - Charlie Byrd Jazz Samba, this album gathered legendary guitarist Luiz Bonfá, singer Maria Toledo and Tom Jobim with Stan Getz. A historic recording!" (Jazz Samba Encore!)



Pharcyde - Runnin' (prod. J-Dilla)
Runnin' is a song performed by The Pharcyde and produced by Jay Dee. It was released as the first single from The Pharcyde's second album Labcabincalifornia in 1995.
The song samples popular jazz artist Stan Getz's "Saudade Vem Correndo", from his 1963 album "Jazz Samba Encore". The sample loops a small section of the track's bridge, layering on additions from other sections of Getz' song (such as Getz' sax solo parts). Check out more about J-Dilla in the producer section and more about Pharcyde in the Artist section.




Dilla used the opening line from RUN DMC - Rock Box


Later sampled by Mya on her song Fallin'


and finally more recently by Wiz Khalifa who in 2009, the Pittsburgh rapper sampled the song for a freestyl called "Name On A Cloud" from Flight School.
