In this short doc, Robert Glasper identifies three jazz samples, from tracks by Ahmad Jamal and Herbie Hancock, that have served as source material for famed hip-hop producers J Dilla and Pete Rock. It is cool. Watch it.

 For those of you who are interested in History as well as Music, BBC Radio 3 is having a Luther season. This focusses on the impact that Martin Luther and the Reformation had on the rest of history and music.  For Year 12, this is essential listening in preparing for the Bach Cantata and will give context to your set work as being such fascinating time in history. 

The first 15 minute programme was last night on Radio 3. Listen again here.

Enjoy.

Enjoy!
