Super clean copy of this essential Soul-Jazz gem by saxophonist Tom Scott. A beautiful blend of jazz, soul and late-60s psychedelic pop, with Scott’s warm and expressive saxophone floating over lush arrangements and the dreamy vocals of The California Dreamers.
Mainly sought after by beat diggers and hip-hop heads for the stunning “Today”, famously sampled by Pete Rock for Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth’s timeless anthem “They Reminisce Over You (T.R.O.Y.)”. That magical, instantly recognizable sax hook remains one of the most iconic samples in hip-hop history.
Beyond the legendary sample, The Honeysuckle Breeze is a superb listen from start to finish, featuring soulful and atmospheric takes on tracks by John Coltrane, The Beatles, Donovan and Jefferson Airplane. An essential piece for jazz collectors, sample hunters and hip-hop enthusiasts alike.
This is the 1972 pressing reissue on Atlantic, record is in excellent condition, sleeve is super clean, with barely noticeable wear along the bottom seam.
