The Coolest Summer Groove EVER

#bass #basshistory #analysis #transcription #paulthompson Breaking down one of the most iconic tracks from the last 50 years: Kool & the Gang's R&B-meets-Jazz masterpiece, "Summer Madness" from the 1974 LIGHT OF WORLDS album (De-Lite). I'll get into where the song actually came from, the magic of each individual part, and what exactly makes up those solos that they play. I'll also introduce you to Ronald 'Khalis' Bell and Robert 'Kool' Bell and how they crafted a timeless track. This is one of the most sampled songs in history (including lifts by DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince, Snoop Dog, Nas, Slum Village, 2pac, and even Kid Rock). Wanna find out why?
