You know what I mean. It's a trip hop staple, and I honestly can't get enough of it.

These are the obvious candidates, all using the same classic recording.

More recently though I discovered this gem from Alice Coltrane, which unmistakably uses the same motif, predating all of them.

Curious if there are any I've missed, or twists on the convention. Would love to have a long-ass playlist of these.

And the original bassline is :


Daydream by Wallace Collection (1969)

it's also been sampled. But it seems that dear Isaac Hayes forgot to write a cheque for this one in the first place 😐

Actually, playing the drums with brushes at a slow tempo like this is pretty common in jazz, though it's usually more swing-oriented jazz as opposed to the modern jazz that's more popular on here.

This is the only example I could think of off the top of my head:

Yeah Miles's work on Elevator to the Gallows is pretty legendary.

It doesn't quite have that key deescalating bass line that I'm really looking for though.

I wasn't speaking literally..
But it's very clear that the bass line (and even the strings !) have been borrowed, without any mention by Isaac Hayes. There is absolutely no coincidence here. Anyways, great artists often do that !

Its just four descending quarter notes he thought of it himself LOL, and its not even the same phrase! My guess is the white band was copying swing Jazz music like Purple Hazel mentioned. If it makes you feel any better the swing Jazz likely borrowed to some extent from classical music who are white lol, but these 60s white bands seem to rip off of black music with impunity and no backlash, like Elvis, I love Elvis but he really got a lot of his music from the black music scene and was a hit like they couldn't be. That's why I like working with Female and Minority musicians... 🙄
