I made an incredible, if obvious and untimely, discovery recently about a classic drum and bass song.

Anyone familiar with drum and bass knows that it has been influenced by jazz. A great example of that can be found in Adam F’s “Circles,” which appeared on the amazing compilation History Part 2: 93-96 The Rough And The Smooth. I listened to this song a lot when I first started getting into drum and bass. Even now it brings back memories about my initial discovery of this music genre.

However, it wasn’t until recently, when I was listening to some pretty terrible jazz at an Atlanta Bread Company, that I randomly discovered where Adam F got his melody from. I immediately recognized the tune when it started playing, and the Shazam app on my iPhone told me that it was “Westchester Lady” by Bob James.

Amazing.
