The 8 seconds of jazz behind DJ Shadow's Blue Sky Revisit, rebuilt

DJ Shadow's "Blue Sky Revisit" is the closing track of Endtroducing..... (1996), and in my opinion one of the most beautiful pieces of sample-based music ever made. Rebuilt from the original samples, step by step:. 0:00 Blue Sky Revisit 0:53 The record 1:08 Tuning the sample 1:25 The chops 1:45 The seam 2:07 Two more chords 2:31 The vocal 3:03 The drums 3:26 The pattern and the swing 3:47 The snare 4:07 The rebuild Samples The Heath Brothers, "The Voice of the Saxophone" (1979), with Stanley Cowell on piano Shawn Phillips, "All Our Love" (1977) David Young, "Joe Splivingates" (1971) (Idris Muhammad on drums) This is a rebuild for study. All credit to DJ Shadow and the original artists. #DJShadow #Endtroducing #MPC60
